Secure user to view/update employees in a specific location

Subject: [orahrms-l] HR:Security
From: Greg.Hoover@IFLYATA.COM

Good morning.

We have a specific need to be able to build a secure user that can only view / update employees that work in a specific location.

I spoke with Oracle about this yesterday, and their response was that you have to use either the organizational hierarchy and/or the positional hierarchy method to create a list of valid employees for a secure user to see (I suspected as much).

What I am considering is creating a new hierarchy structure that contains all the cost centers (every employee is assigned to a cost center), assign this hierarchy to a secure user, letting the SECGEN program build the complete list of employees that are viewable by that user, and then running a secondary job that would delete the employees (from the per_person_list table) that the secure user should not be able to view.

From everything that I can think of and have looked at, this should work, and it's fairly straight forward solution.

Has anyone come up with a solution to this "problem" or does anyone have any insight as to whether I am proposing will work ?

Thanks for your time.
Greg

Greg:

Your approach should work OK. I have not personally altered the per_person_list table to support security in the past. However, I have notes that indicate this is a safe approach. We plan to do something similar on an upcoming implementation.

Hope this helps,

We are HR only and get around this obstacle by using "Payroll" security. We assigned each of our physical locations a unique payroll name, and use that in the security profile to control who sees what.

Works great. It may or may not for you, especially if you're a Payroll client.

Any questions, email me...

The only caveat I can see to this procedure would be if you are running listgen everyday as you should, you would also have to run your procedure everyday. I THINK!

Secured User - Grant permission not working

From:"Barnett, Janet L." jlbarnet@mountaineergas.com
Date:19th August 1999
Subject: Secured Users

I am trying to create responsibilities that only look at certain organizations.

I have created the responsibility.
I have created the security profile and tied these together.
I have updated the system profile option.

I am using version 11.02. I tried to runt the Grant permissions to roles process but it says:

the user or role HR_Secure_user does not exist.

How do I create this user? Is this something the DBA does? If so, what does he do?

Thanks for your help.

Your DBA needs to run the ROLEGEN process. It's a script. This should have been done on install.

Janet, this sounds like the same problem I was having. Grant Permissions to Roles is actually obsolete in release 11.02.

Oracle support had us apply patches 765384 and 899496. They also had us check that we had run version 110.4 or higher of payactn.odf.

After we completed these steps, security profiles worked perfectly. Good luck.

Two Business Groups in once instance

Subject: PAYROLL :problem with setting up two business groups in one insta

Hi,

We're trying to set up two business groups in one instance, and are experiencing some problems doing so :
- If we are setting up elements in our second business group that have the same name as elements set up in the first business group (f.ex. Salary), the database items are not created for this new element, somehow the procedure responsible for creating those dbi's doesn't recognise that those elements belong to a different business group.
- When trying to apply a TYE patch (p866730_1100) we run in a similar problem (my guess), the patch hangs in the procedure HRDYNDBI.REBUILD_ELE_INPUT_BAL('Y').

Support is working on it, but seen our time constraints, I'm hoping somebody is familiar with this problem and can help us foreward.

Cheers,
Bert
