Peoplesoft Security Question:
Tell me what is row level security? What are the different ways to design row level security?
Answer:
Row level security is also known as Data Permission Security. It determines the access given to a user for all/specific set of rows through any PeopleSoft component which can be delivered or custom. For a row, access to all the fields is given.
Row level security restricts user’s access to a subset of rows based on the value within a field in the record. That field could be department, job location, job company, job salary grade etc. There are certain PeopleSoft delivered security sets and access types which can be used as a basis of restriction. For e.g., restrict access for a user (using Job data component) to all the employees having a value of ‘SALES’ for the department field in the current effective dated job row.
