Preview the Person Security Profile

Usually, you secure access to person records by either manager hierarchy or area of responsibility. This topic describes how to preview the person security profile.

Note:

If you're going to use area of responsibility, then the employees who need to access person records must have areas of responsibility defined. Let's say that your human resource specialists manage person records for a country. They must have an area of responsibility, such as human resources representative, for that country.

Preview the Person Security Profile

On the Create Person Security Profile: Preview page, you can test your security profile before you save it.

1. On the Person Access Preview tab, select a user with the area of responsibility that you included in the security profile. When you click Preview:

   • The User Summary section of the page shows how many person records this user could access.

   • The Assigned Areas of Responsibility section of the tab lists the user's areas of responsibility.

   Note:

   The results from the Person Access Preview are based on this person security profile only. Users could have other roles that provide access to other person records.

2. In the Search Person section of the tab, you can search for specific person records to see whether the user could access them. The search is of the person records that were identified when you clicked Preview for the user. For example, if the preview identified 50 person records, then those 50 person records are searched.

3. To view the SQL predicate that the security profile generates, click the SQL Predicate for Person Access tab.

4. Click Save and Close when you're done.
