Oracle BI Publisher Security Details

In general, BI Publisher reports are secured using the product security, not the reporting security. This is the case for delivered data models.

As an example, the approval notification and the job offer letters are generated using BI Publisher through secured data models.

BI Publisher report writers can create custom data models, secured or not, depending on the content. Standard BI Publisher reports are secured based on the product and user access. If report writers create custom reports, you need to check within them if the reports are secured or not and which objects are used when they're secured. Recruiting and general HCM security will differ in some cases, mainly with Personal Identifiable Information. Personal email, phone, and address are secured but unlocked for external candidates in Recruiting (that info is required in the recruiting process), while it's highly protected in HCM. Make sure you know which data model is used and how it's secured.
