Hierarchy Content in Position Security Profiles
The Hierarchy Content section is hidden by default so you must opt-in to display it in the Position Hierarchy section. You must change the default value (N) of the profile option ORA_PER_ENABLE_POSITION_SECURITY_DELEGATION to Y to enable it.
After changing the profile option value, you must sign out and sign in to the application for the changes to take effect.
The Hierarchy Content attribute in a position security profile controls how access to manager hierarchies is delegated when you:
-
Secure access to position records by manager hierarchy.
-
Delegate a role that includes the position security profile.
Create a position security profile using the Manage Position Security Profile task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, or by its quick action under My Client Groups.
Enable the Position Hierarchy section and choose the intended hierarchy type. Top position selection must be relative to a user's assignment to enable and select a hierarchy type.
Hierarchy Content Values
This table describes the Hierarchy Content values.
|
Value |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Current user's hierarchy |
The position 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 user's hierarchy |
The position 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 position 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, when viewing by position, the proxy's My Team information doesn't show the delegator's positions, because the manager hierarchy isn't changed by the role delegation.
