Defining User Profile Access for Remote Security Administrators

To define user profile access:

1. Define a search record that returns only the user IDs that you want remote security administrators to be able to administer.

   Note:

   Initially, PSOPRDEFN_SRCH is the default search record for this purpose. You can accept the default and skip this step, but that action enables access to every user profile in your system. We encourage you to define a more restrictive search record.

2. In a browser, select PeopleTools, and then Security, and then User Profiles, and then Distributed User Setup to access the Set Distributed User Profile Search Record page.

3. In the New Search Record field, select the search record that you defined in Step 1, and then save.

   When remote security administrators access the Distributed User Profiles component, this search record enforces row-level security to restrict the set of user IDs that they can select and administer.
