How do I restrict contact search results?

You can restrict the user's visibility of contacts in the contact picker based on HCM data security visibility.

By default, all contacts are displayed in the contact picker for the Human Resource Analyst. To restrict their visibility, use the ORA_HELPDESK_CONTACT_DATASECURITY profile option. Here's how to enable that profile option:

1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance.
2. Click the Tasks icon.
3. Click the Search link.
4. Enter Manage Administrator Profile Values in the Search field.
5. Click Search.
6. Click the Manage Administrator Profile Values link.
7. Enter the Profile Option Code ORA_HELPDESK_CONTACT_DATASECURITY.
8. Click Search.
9. In the Profile Values section, change the default PublicPerson to Person. This limits results by HCM data security. The default "PublicPerson" displays all contacts.
10. Click Save and Close.
11. Click Done.
