Create Data Security Policy For Managing Items and Item Class

To calculate emissions for a particular item (for example, an item for carbon footprint), sustainability analysts must specify the item while creating activities or entering emission factor mappings. To enable this, a role that includes the Manage Sustainability Activity (SUS_MANAGE_ACTIVITIES_PRIV) and Manage Emission Factor (SUS_MANAGE_EMISSION_FACTORS_PRIV) privileges must be granted data access to the appropriate item classes.

Before you start

To perform this procedure, you must be assigned a role that includes the Manage Item Class (EGP_MANAGE_ITEM_CLASS_PRIV) privilege.

Here's what to do

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, use the Manage Item Classes task:
   • Offering: Product Management
   • Functional Area: Items
2. On the Manage Item Classes page, search for and select the item class name for which you want to grant access. The Edit Item Class page is displayed.
3. On the Security tab, click the Add Row icon to create the data policy. A new row is added. You can create data policies either for groups (jobs or duty roles) or users.
4. If you want to grant access to all users who are assigned a role that has the privileges of the predefined Sustainability Analyst role, then:
   1. From the Principal column, select Group.
   2. In the Name column, search for and select, or enter the job role name.
   3. In the Organization column, search for and select, or enter the organization name that will be used to validate the item. For example, Vision Corporation.
      Note: The organization name that you specify here must also be specified as the value of the ORA_SUS_ITEM_VALIDATION_ORG_CODE profile option.
5. If you want to grant access to a specific user, then:
   1. From the Principal column, select Person.
   2. In the Name column, search for and select, or enter the name of the user. For example, John Doe.
   3. In the Organization column, search for and select, or enter the organization name that will be used to validate the item. For example, Vision Corporation.
      Note: The organization name that you specify here must also be specified as the value of the ORA_SUS_ITEM_VALIDATION_ORG_CODE profile option.
6. Define the actions that the group or user can perform by adding actions as follows:
   1. In the Actions section, from the Actions menu, select Select and Add. The Select and Add: Actions dialog box is displayed.
   2. In the Actions field, enter View Item Basic, and then click Search.
   3. From the search results, select View Item Basic and then click OK. The action is added to the Actions table.
7. Click Save and Close to close the Edit Item Class page.
8. On the Manage Item Class page, click Done.
