Security Overview

Tax Reporting implements several security layers to ensure security. Infrastructure security components, which are implemented and managed by Oracle, create a highly secure environment for the business process. The business process ensures security with password-protected single sign-on, and role-based access to data and artifacts.

Setting up security requires these tasks:

Table 4-1 Elements of Security

Name	Who Performs and Description	Link
Create users and assign them access to the application	The Identity Domain Administrator creates the users and assigns them access to the application.	See Creating Users in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators
Assign users predefined role access to the application	The Identity Domain Administrator assigns users role access to the application: Service Administrators, Power Users, Users, Viewers.	See Understanding Predefined Roles and Tax Reporting in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators
Create and manage groups	Administrators can define groups and populate with users using Manage Groups under Access Control.	For creation and management of groups, see Managing Groups in Getting Started with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud for Administrators
Assign users access to artifacts	Users are assigned access to artifacts in the application. These artifacts include forms, task lists, and reports. This access is given to users by the creators of the artifacts or by the Service Administrator.	See Assigning User Access to Artifacts.
Assign users access to data	The Administrator assigns access to data through access to dimension members. Users are assigned either Modify, View, or None access to members of a dimension.	See Assigning User Access to Data
