How do I configure access to content sections for person profiles?

Title and music.

In this video, you'll learn how to give the required role access for person profile content sections. For example, you can specify the level of access for users in the employee role so that they can add and edit the Degree content section. To perform this task, ensure you have the IT Security Manager role, which includes the Manage HCM Data Role privilege. To specify access to the profile content section, you need to first:

Identify the predefined or custom job roles and abstract roles that can access the content section in person profiles.
Also, specify the level of access as view, edit, or print for each role.

After saving your changes on the Profile Content Section Access page, you must regenerate data roles that inherit any of the job roles to which you mapped a content section. You must also regenerate abstract roles to which you mapped a content section and to which security profiles are assigned. Regenerating roles updates the data security permissions and users can then access content sections in person profiles.

As mentioned in the prerequisite, ensure you are logged in with the IT Security Manager role access.

Now let’s go to step one, navigate to the Profile Content Section Access task. Navigate from My Client Groups > Show More > Profile Content Section Access

From the Home page, click My Client Groups.

Under the Quick Actions section, click Show More.

Click Profile Content Section Access.

Under Content Section, we’ll select Degree.

In the Select Section list, select Degree.

In the Roles for Degree section, click add, and search for an employee abstract role.

In the Roles for Degree section, click Add.

In the Name list, select Employee.

You can now specify the level of access for the employee abstract role. If you select View Access, employees can only view content section data. With Edit Access, employees can edit content-section data. This access automatically includes View and Print access. If you select Print access, employees can print the content section data. In this example, we’ll select edit access and save it.

For the Edit Access check box, click Yes.

Click Save.

Next, we’ll proceed to step two. Go to the Data Roles and Security Profiles task to regenerate the roles.

Click the Home icon.

Click My Client Groups.

Under the Quick Actions section, click Show More.

In the Workforce Structures section, click Data Roles and Security Profiles.

Search for the employee abstract role that you added as part of step one.

In the Roles field, enter Employee.

Click Search.

Select the role to edit it.

In the Search Results section, click in the row with the row code of ORA_PER_EMPLOYEE_ABSTRACT.

Click Edit.

Click Next.

Review and then submit the changes. Regenerating updates the data security permissions.

Click Review.

Click Submit.

To verify that it’s been regenerated, let’s navigate to the Security Console.

Click the Home icon.

Click the Navigator icon.

Expand the Tools section.

Click Security Console.

Search for the employee abstract role ORA_PER_EMPLOYEE_ABSTRACT.

In the Search field, enter ORA_PER_EMPLOYEE_ABSTRACT.

In the search results, select Edit Role.

In the Search Results section, click the arrow.

Select Edit Role.

Then in the Edit Role Employee page, go to data security policies.

On the Edit Role Employee: Basic Information page, click the Data Security Policies tab.

Ensure the filters are selected.

Click the Query by Example icon.

Search for the required privilege by using the keyword "degree" in this case.

Above the Privilege column, enter Degree.

You can see that the data security privileges for view, manage, and report degree have been generated and granted to the employee abstract role. So any user with the employee abstract role can now log in and access the degree content section.

To check, let’s login as a user with the employee abstract role and go to Career and Performance. Select Skills and Qualifications.

Logout and login as the person with the employee abstract role.

On the Home page, click the Me tab.

Click Career and Performance.

Click Skills and Qualifications.

Scroll down to view the Degree section.

You will now see the Degree content section added. You can add a degree and enter any other relevant information and save the info.
