FEATURE SUMMARY

Column Definitions:

Report = New or modified, Oracle-delivered, ready to run reports.UI or Process-Based: Small Scale = These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.UI or Process-Based: Larger Scale* = These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

Customer Action Required = You MUST take action before these features can be used by END USERS. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them. For example, a) new or expanded BI subject areas need to first be incorporated into reports, b) Integration is required to utilize new web services, or c) features must be assigned to user roles before they can be accessed.

Ready for Use by End Users (Feature Delivered Enabled)

Reports plus Small Scale UI or Process-Based new features will have minimal user impact after an update. Therefore, customer acceptance testing should focus on the Larger Scale UI or Process-Based* new features.

Customer Must Take Action before Use by End Users (Feature Delivered Disabled)

Not disruptive as action is required to make these features ready to use. As you selectively choose to leverage, you set your test and roll out timing.

APPLICATION SECURITY

Oracle Applications Security provides a single console where IT Security Managers and Administrators can perform various functions including user lifecycle management, role definition, security policy management(both functional and data), role hierarchy maintenance, username and password policy administration, and certificate management. The console also enables users to simulate the effect of security changes, to run security reports, and download a connector for integration with Microsoft Active Directory.

MANAGE EXCLUSIONS FROM HCM PERSON SECURITY PROFILES

In a person security profile, you identify a set of people using criteria such as manager hierarchy or area of responsibility. When you include the person security profile in a data role, users who have the data role can access the person records of the set of people you identified. In some cases, you may want to exclude selected person records, such as the records of workers in the HR department, from the set identified by the person security profile. Until now, you had to define custom criteria to implement these exclusions. From this update, you can create reusable exclusion rules and reference them in person security profiles.

Creating Exclusion Rules

To create an exclusion rule, you use the new task. You can perform the task:Manage HCM Exclusion Rules

In the Users and Security functional area for your offering in the Setup and Maintenance work areaIn the Workforce Structures work area

You must have the IT Security Manager job role or privileges to perform the task.

Create HCM Exclusion Rule Page

You define a name for the exclusion rule, enter a description if required, and leave Enabled selected.

To create the exclusion definition, you select an value, which can be a list, an attribute, or a Exclude Byhierarchy from the following list.

List

Business unitCountry

DepartmentGradeJob familyJobLegal employerPersonPositionWork location

Attribute

When you select a list value, you search for and select one or more named instances of the selected object. For example, if you set to , then you search for and select one or more business Exclude By Business unit listunits.

Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a List of Business Units

If you set to , then you select the tree name and the top department in the Exclude By Department hierarchytree. The top department and its subordinates are included in the exclusion rule.

Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a Department Hierarchy

For or , you select the top position or manager, as appropriate. HCM position hierarchy Supervisor hierarchyThe selected values and their subordinates in the hierarchy are included in the exclusion rule.

When you set to an attribute, you select the attribute name, an operator, and a value.Exclude By

Creating an Exclusion Rule Using a Department Attribute

Referencing Exclusion Rules in a Person Security Profile

You can reference exclusion rules in a person security profile only when you secure person records by area of responsibility. That is, the Exclusion Rules section appears by default, but it's not active until you select Secure

.by area of responsibility

9

Exclusion Rules Section on the Create Person Security Profile Page

You can select any existing exclusion rule to identify a set of person records to exclude from the person security profile. Let's say that you set the scope of responsibility to but want to exclude a few named Departmentworkers. In the Exclusion Rules section, you select and add an appropriate exclusion Apply exclusion rulesrule. For example, the rule could list the workers by name, specify the department to which those workers and no others belong, or identify a common job attribute. The effect of the rule is to exclude records that match the exclusion criteria from the set of person records identified by the person security profile.

You can include up to three exclusion rules in a person security profile. When you use multiple exclusion rules:

You can base only one of the rules on a hierarchy value.Only person records that satisfy all of the rules are excluded.

STEPS TO ENABLE

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS

In a person security profile, you can't select an exclusion rule that's disabled. If you disable an exclusion rule after it's been added to a person security profile, then a cross icon appears in the Enabled column of the Exclusion Rules section of the person security profile. When an exclusion rule is disabled, the person records identified by the rule aren't excluded from the person security profile. To have an effect, an exclusion rule must be enabled.

You can export and import the associated setup business objects using standard Functional Setup Manager functionality. The new business objects are:

HCM Exclusion RuleHCM Exclusion Rule DetailPerson Security Profile Exclusion

10

Objects referenced in an exclusion rule, such as business units or the HCM position hierarchy, must already exist in the target environment. To avoid import errors, any changed setup objects that you reference must be exported before you export the HCM Exclusion Rule, HCM Exclusion Rule Detail, or Person Security Profile Exclusion objects.

You're recommended to evaluate any existing custom criteria that you defined to manage exclusions and, where possible, use exclusion rules instead.

KEY RESOURCES

ROLE INFORMATION

A new function security privilege provides access to the task. This table Manage HCM Exclusion Rulesidentifies the function security privilege and the predefined job role to which it's granted.

Function Security Privilege Job Role

Manage HCM Exclusion Rules PER_MANAGE_HCM_EXCLUSION_RULES_PRIV

IT Security Manager ORA_FND_IT_SECURITY_MANAGER_JOB

If you're using the predefined IT Security Manager job role, then no action is necessary. If you're using a custom version of the IT Security Manager job role, then you must add the new privilege to your custom role to manage HCM exclusion rules. For information about adding new roles and privileges to custom roles, see the Release 13 on My Oracle Support (document ID )Security Upgrade Guide 2023523.1
