Person Profile Content Access for Roles: Examples

You must identify which job roles and abstract roles need access to content sections and the level of access each role needs. This topic provides examples of content-section access for some roles and identifies tasks that users with those roles can perform.

Scenario:

The First Software organization associates the following content sections with the person profile type. These content sections are available as searchable profile content.

• Competencies
• Degree
• Languages
• Licenses and Certifications

The organization has employee, line manager, and license manager roles. An appropriate person security profile is assigned to each role. According to the person security profile:

• Users with the employee role can search for employees according to their access privileges for person records in the directory and manage their own records.
• Users with the line manager role can manage the person records of their reports.
• Users with the license manager role can manage the person records of employees in their department.

The access level for each content section for a role can be defined as shown in the following table:
