Run the Regenerate Data Security Grants Process

You must regenerate an HCM data role if changes are made to the data security policies of its inherited job role. You can regenerate data and abstract roles individually by editing them on the Manage Data Roles and Security Profiles page.

Alternatively, to regenerate one or more roles, you can run the Regenerate Data Security Grants process. This topic describes how to run this process.

For example, if an aggregate privilege is removed from the job role, then you must regenerate any data role that inherits the job role. You must also regenerate any abstract role that has directly assigned security profiles if changes are made to the role's data security policies.
