Submitted by: Administrator

The steps to assign row level security are:

i) Assign desired values of fields (department/ job location/ job company/ business unit etc) to Data Permission Lists

ii) Assign these Data Permission Lists to users

If field is ‘Department':

i) Data Permission List is given access to values values of ‘Department' field defined at various levels in Department Security Tree through: Set Up HRMS -> Security -> Core Row Level Security -> Security by Dept Tree

If field is not ‘Department' but ‘Location', ‘Business Unit', ‘Salary Grade' etc:

i) Data Permission Lists are given access to values of these fields through: Set Up HRMS -> Security -> Core Row Level Security -> Security by Permission List

ii) Users are assigned to Data Permission Lists through roles in user profiles component (Roles page). Multiple such roles can be assigned to users as per requirement.
