HCM Data Loader User Access Security Supported in Payroll Flows

You can now use the Load HCM Data File and Load HCM Data Spreadsheet tasks to load a file or spreadsheet using a payroll flow.

Transform your data into a format that's supported by HDL (using the Load Batch from File task), and load the transformed data into the application using a payroll flow. The new tasks ensure the following new HCM Data Loader security features are enforced when you load a file or spreadsheet using a payroll flow:

  1. Control the job roles that have access to bulk-load security related data by restricting access to HCM Data Loader business objects.
  2. Control the business objects and product areas a user role can use for bulk loading data using HCM Data Loader.

Create a new flow pattern, or update your existing flow pattern to use the Load HCM Data File and Load HCM Data Spreadsheet tasks. For example, create a new flow that includes the 'Load Batch from File' and Load HCM Data File tasks. The existing Load Batch from File transforms your data into a format that's supported by HCM Data Loader. The new Load HCM Data File task loads the file and enforces the user access security rules that are defined for HDL.

Note: It's recommended you use the new the Load HCM Data File and Load HCM Data Spreadsheet tasks. These new tasks are the secure versions of the Initiate Data Loader and Load Spreadsheet from File tasks.

Use the following new HCM Data Loader security features when you load a file or spreadsheet using a payroll flow:

  1. Control the job roles that have access to bulk-load security related data by restricting access to HCM Data Loader business objects.
  2. Control the business objects and product areas a user role can use for bulk loading data using HCM Data Loader.
