Examples of Organization Security Profiles

An organization security profile identifies organizations by at least one of organization hierarchy, organization classification, and organization list.

These examples show some typical requirements for organization security profiles. Use the Manage Organization Security Profile task to create organization security profiles.

HR IT Administrator Who Maintains Organizations

The HR IT administrator maintains all types of organizations for the enterprise. The user's access must reflect any changes to the organization hierarchy without requiring updates to the security profile. Therefore, you:

Secure by organization hierarchy.
Select a generic organization hierarchy. The hierarchy includes all types of organizations.
Identify by name the top organization in the hierarchy. The top organization is unlikely to vary with the user's own assignments.

If you secure by organization classification or list organizations by name, then you must maintain the security profile as the organization hierarchy evolves.

Human Resource Specialist Who Manages Employment Records in a Legal Employer

The human resources (HR) specialist accesses lists of various organizations, such as legal employers and business units, while managing employment information. To identify the organizations that the user can see in such lists, you:

Secure by organization hierarchy.
Select a generic organization hierarchy, because the user accesses more than one type of organization.
Use the department from the user's assignment as the top organization in the hierarchy. Using this value means that you can assign an HCM data role that includes this organization security profile to multiple HR specialists.
