Tips And Considerations

Considerations for Loading Security Related Data:

Overriding the Restrict Access to Security Related Business Objects parameter in the Configure HCM Data Loader page enforces that a user needs to be granted the Load HCM Security Data privilege in order to load data using a business object that loads security-related data.
