Content Section Access

To access the content for person profiles, you must give the required access for the content section to a role. You can specify the level of access as view, edit, or report for each role. For example, users in the line manager role can be given edit access to add and edit the Competencies content and view access to only read the Education content for their workers.

In addition, content section security secures user access to the various delivered talent ratings. The aggregate security privilege, View Talent Ratings, is required to gain access to the new Talent Ratings page.

Use the Profile Content Section Access task in the Profiles work area to secure access to content sections in person profiles. You must have the IT Security Manager role or privileges to perform this task. For a selected content section, you can:

  • Identify the predefined or custom job roles and abstract roles that can access the content section in person profiles.
  • Specify the level of access for each role. The levels are shown in this table.

When you map a content section to a role, a data security privilege is granted to the role automatically. For example, you could map the Leadership content section to the predefined Employee abstract role and set the access level to Edit. This table shows the resulting data security policy. The data security privilege shown in this data security policy would be generated and granted to the role.
