Person Security Profile in Oracle Fusion HCM

In Oracle Fusion HCM, a “Person Security Profile” is a mechanism that controls and restricts users’ access to employee records and personal information based on defined security rules. It allows organizations to manage the confidentiality of employee data by ensuring that only authorized individuals can view and access specific employee records.

Here’s an overview of how Person Security Profiles work in Oracle Fusion HCM:

1. Access Control:

• • Person Security Profiles define which users or roles have access to view and manage employee records.
  • They are designed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing sensitive employee information.

1. Attributes and Criteria:

• • Security Profiles are configured using attributes such as department, job, location, and other relevant criteria.
  • These criteria determine which employees a user can access based on their role and security settings.

1. Hierarchy-Based Security:

• • Person Security Profiles can be linked to organizational hierarchies, ensuring that users can only access records within their authorized hierarchy.

1. Data Segmentation:

• • The concept of data segmentation is used to segment employee data based on predefined criteria.
  • Users only see data for employees who meet the criteria defined in their security profiles.

1. Global vs. Specific Profiles:

• • Organizations can create global profiles that apply to all users or create specific profiles for different roles or user groups.

1. Dynamic Update:

• • Changes to security profiles take effect immediately, ensuring that data access is always up-to-date based on user roles and responsibilities.

1. Self-Service Security:

• • Employees can also have security profiles to restrict access to their own records in self-service portals.

1. Audit Trail:

• • Oracle Fusion HCM keeps an audit trail of who accessed which employee records and when.

Person Security Profiles are particularly important when dealing with sensitive employee information, complying with data protection regulations, and maintaining privacy within the organization. By implementing these profiles, organizations can control data visibility, prevent unauthorized access, and enhance the security of their employee data.

The specifics of setting up and configuring Person Security Profiles may vary based on the version and configuration of Oracle Fusion HCM. It’s recommended to refer to the official Oracle documentation or seek assistance from Oracle support for accurate and up-to-date information on how to configure Person Security Profiles in your specific environment.
