Restrict Access to Initiate HDL from REST

The createFileDataSet custom action, which is a part of the dataLoadDataSets REST service, is now secured with a new function security privilege: 

Create HCM Data Loader Data Set Using REST Service HRC_CREATE_FILE_DATA_SET_USING_REST_PRIV

NOTE: Unless this new privilege is granted, customers who've created custom roles to grant access to initiate HDL from REST will stop working.

You can grant access to the dataLoadDataSets REST API for HCM Spreadsheet Data Loader integrations even if the user doesn't have the access to initiate HDL, and if HDL access is required, then grant this privilege.

Steps to Enable

Grant the HRC_CREATE_FILE_DATA_SET_USING_REST_PRIV privilege to the user using the createFileDataSet custom action.

Tips And Considerations

You don't have to grant access to the Human Capital Management Integration Specialist for accessing HDL and HSDL functionality. Instead, create the custom roles to grant the specific access needed.

It's also recommended to enable and configure role access to HDL business objects to control which HDL business object your roles can upload data to.
