Job Application Security Details

The ability to view job applications is tied to both the job requisition visibility and the job offer visibility.

In general, the job requisition visibility is broader than the job offer visibility. Because the job requisition's Hiring Team may be different from the job offer team, a user who can view a job offer might not have access to the original job requisition where the job application was created. However, the user will be able to view the job application.

A user with access to a set of job requisitions might not have access to any job applications. By default, the Hiring Manager role has the aggregate privilege View Non-Restricted Candidate Job Application (ORA_IRC_VIEW_NON_RESTRICTED_CANDIDATE_JOB_APPLICATION), whereas the Recruiter role has the aggregate privilege View Candidate Job Application (ORA_IRC_VIEW_CANDIDATE_JOB_APPLICATION). The difference is that if restricted phases are defined in the candidate selection process, the Hiring Manager role won't see job applications until they're moved out of these phases.

There is no need to define data security policies to view job applications from the Requisitions list. Only the concept of restricted phases applies.
