Setting Up Standard HRMS Security

Use the following setup steps if your enterprise sets up a different responsibility for each business group.

To set up users for Standard HRMS security:

  1. Ensure that the Enable Security Groups profile option is set to No at site and application level, using the System Profile Values window.

    If this option is set to Yes then you are not using Standard HRMS security.

    See: System Profile Values.

  2. Define a Security Profile

    Note: For each restricted security profile you create that references a reporting user, you must run the Generate Secure User (SECGEN) process. This is a one-off process that is not required for view-all security profiles.

  3. Ensure that the required functions or menus are set up.

    This is required for the responsibility. For menu functions calling configured forms or task flows, you must enter a parameter in the Parameter field of the Form Functions window.

    See: Defining Menus

    See: Set Up Menus

  4. Ensure that the required request group is set up.

    You can define the groups of standard reports and processes that a user can run from the Submit a New Request window. Every responsibility can have access to one request group.

    Use the Request Groups window.

    See: Request Groups window

  5. Define a responsibility using the Responsibility window.

    See: Responsibilities Window

  6. Set the HR User Profile Options for the new responsibility using the System Profile Values window. You must set up the:
