When do I need a country security profile?

Country security profiles identify one or more countries to appear in the lists of countries. The predefined country security profile, View All Countries, meets the needs.

However, you can limit the country list available to an HCM data role by creating a country security profile for that role. You can include the countries that are defined in the table FND_TERRITORIES. By default, users with these predefined job and abstract roles see all countries in lists of countries:

• Benefits Administrator

• Benefits Manager

• Benefits Specialist

• Compensation Manager

• Contingent Worker (ORA_PER_CONTINGENT_WORKER_ABSTRACT)

• Employee (ORA_PER_EMPLOYEE_ABSTRACT)

• Human Capital Management Integration Specialist

• Human Resource Specialist (ORA_PER_HUMAN_RESOURCE_SPECIALIST_JOB)

• Line Manager (ORA_PER_LINE_MANAGER_ABSTRACT)

If you include any of these roles in a data role, then users with the data role see all countries. The country security profile that you include in the data role has no effect.
