Assigning Security Profiles

Use the Assign Security Profile window to link user names, and security profiles to responsibilities. Only use this window if you are using Security Groups Enabled security (formerly called Cross Business Group Responsibility security).

Attention: When using Security Groups Enabled security even if you have linked a user to a responsibility using the User window, you must still link your user to responsibility and security profile using the HRMS Assign Security Profile window. If you do not use the Assign Security Profile window, HRMS uses the default view-all security profile for the Business Group and the user will see all records for the Business Group.

The Assign Security Profile window is an essential part of setting up and maintaining HRMS security for Security Groups Enabled security. You must use this window to update your security profile assignment. Any changes entered for the security profile assignment are also shown on the User window. However, if you end date a user's responsibility using the User window, this is not shown on the Assign Security Profile window.

When you navigate to the Assign Security Profile window, the Find Security Profile Assignments window displays automatically. Select New to create a new assignment. For information about querying existing security profile assignments, see Using the Find Security Profile Assignment window.
