Options for Creating Application Users
When you create person records, user accounts can be created automatically. The User and Role Provisioning options control whether user accounts are created and maintained automatically. You set these options for the enterprise during implementation using the Manage Enterprise HCM Information task.
Some enterprises use applications other than Oracle ERP Cloud to manage user and role provisioning. In this case, you set the User and Role Provisioning options to prevent automatic creation of user accounts. Oracle ERP Cloud user accounts don't provide access to other enterprise applications.
Creating Person Records
You can create person records:
-
Individually, using the Manage Users task
-
In bulk, uploading them using HCM Data Loader
When Oracle HCM Cloud is implemented, ERP users won't create person records. This activity is performed by HCM users who use tasks such as Hire an Employee, rather than Create User.
To load workers using HCM Data Loader, use the Import and Load Data task in the Data Exchange work area. The enterprise option User Account Creation controls whether user accounts are created for all workers by default. You can prevent user accounts from being created for individual workers by setting the GeneratedUserAccountFlag attribute of the User Information component to N. If you're creating user accounts for uploaded workers, then you can provide a user name in the uploaded data. This value overrides the default user-name format for the default user category. You run the process Send Pending LDAP Requests to send bulk user-account requests for processing.
