Why You Assign Security Profiles to Roles

Several predefined roles can open application pages that contain HCM data in Oracle ERP Cloud. Examples of these roles are:

• Employee

• Contingent Worker

• Financial Application Administrator

Users with these roles can sign in and open application pages. However, they have no automatic access to HCM data in these pages. For example, Financial Application Administrators can open the Manage Users page but their searches return no results. To enable basic HCM data access for users with abstract roles, you assign security profiles directly to those roles.

Security Profiles to Assign to Roles

This table identifies the security profiles that you can assign directly to the Employee, Contingent Worker, and Financial Application Administrator roles. With the exception of the Transaction security profile for the Financial Application Administrator role, all of these security profiles are predefined.
