What happens if a value set is security enabled?

Value set security is a feature that enables you to secure access to value set values based on the role of the user in the application.

As an example, suppose you have a value set of US state names. When this value set is used to validate a flexfield segment, and users can select a value for the segment, you can use value set security to restrict them to selecting only a certain state or subset of states based on their assigned roles in the application.

For example, Western-region employees may choose only California, Nevada, Oregon, and so on as valid values. They can't select non-Western-region states. Eastern-region employees may choose only New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and so on as valid values, but can't select non-Eastern-region states. Value set security is implemented using Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications data security.
