Assets Data Security Components

In Oracle Fusion Assets, you can secure access to assets to perform transactions and view their information by asset book.

Every asset book created in Assets is automatically secured. You can perform transactions or view asset data only in the books to which you have permission. The permission must be explicitly granted to each user based on his or her duty requirements.

Data Privileges

Each activity is individually secured by a unique data privilege. In other words, when you provide access to a book, you actually provide permission to perform a particular activity in that book. For example, you can allow user X to perform only tasks related to asset additions in book AB CORP and restrict the same user from performing asset retirements in this book.

The data accesses for different asset activities are secured for the book with the following data privileges:

• Add Fixed Asset Data

• Change Fixed Asset Data

• Retire Fixed Asset Data

• Track Fixed Asset Data

• Submit Fixed Assets Reports

Asset Book Security Context

After you have completed your Assets setup, you can assign job roles to users using the Security Console and then grant explicit data access for asset books using the Manage Data Access for Users task from the Setup and Maintenance work area.

Default Asset Books

Since the data access is secured by book, you must provide or select the book to perform transactions and view asset details. If you have access to only one book, you can set up this book as the default book. The default book value must be set using the Default Book profile option. You set the value at the site, product, or user level. Usually, the default book is automatically entered in the Book field when you perform transactions and run reports. You can override the default value and enter another value from the list of values.
