What are Security Profiles used for?

Answer

The security profile attached to a responsibility determines
which applicant and employee records are available to
holders of that responsibility. You associate a security
profile with work structures. The records of employees and
applicants assigned to these work structures are then
accessible to holders of the responsibility.

The work structures you can name in security profiles are:

o internal organizations and organization
hierarchies. Organizations include structures like
departments, sections, groups and teams. Each security
profile allows access to one Business Group only.

o positions and position hierarchies. Positions
are jobs performed within specified organizations, such as:

+ Clerk, Accounting Section (organization is
Accounting Section and job is clerk)

+ Quality Control Technician (organization
is Quality Control Group and job is technician)

o payrolls, such as Weekly Payroll, Monthly
Payroll, or Sales Payroll.
