Hierarchy Content in Person Security Profiles
The Hierarchy Content attribute in a person security profile controls how access to manager hierarchies is delegated, either when you secure access to person records by manager hierarchy, or delegate a role that includes the person security profile.
To create a person security profile, use the Manage Person Security Profile task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.
Hierarchy Content Values
This table describes the Hierarchy Content values.
|
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Manager hierarchy |
The manager hierarchy of the signed-in user. This value is the default value. Don't use this value if the associated role can be delegated. |
|
Delegating manager hierarchy |
The manager hierarchy of the delegating manager. Select this value if the associated role is always delegated to a user who isn't a manager and therefore has no manager hierarchy. |
|
Both |
The proxy user can access both his or her own manager hierarchy and the hierarchy of the delegating manager. Select this value for the typical case of one manager delegating a line manager role to another manager. |
When the line manager role is delegated to another line manager, the proxy can manage the delegator's reports. However, the proxy's My Team information doesn't show the delegator's reports, because the manager hierarchy isn't changed by the role delegation.
