Assigning Roles to Users and General Tab Information
Purpose: Use this document as a reference for how to assign roles to users and FS User Preferences in ctcLink.
Audience: FS College Security Administrators
PeopleSoft Security
Roles are required for users to access ANY pages within PeopleSoft.
Users will have default roles assigned. These default roles (ZZ PeopleSoft User, EOPP_USER, PAPP_USER, CTC%_DISTR, ZZ_EMPLOYEE) contain settings required for the user to access PeopleSoft correctly and are dynamically assigned.
Here’s a look at User Profiles and the security they need to access pages, data, and various functions and processes in PeopleSoft.
Row level security in Financials is controlled by primary permission list.
Assign User Roles Using Distributed User Profiles
Navigation: Main Menu > People Tools > Security > User Profiles > Distributed User Profiles
- Enter User ID in the Search by field on the Distributed User Profile page.
- Click Search.
General Tab
This page captures basic information about the user, including the user ID and name. From a security standpoint there are many items of interest on this page. In the Permission Lists section at the bottom of the page there is a value for the Primary permission list and the Row Security permission list. These values impact a user’s experience in PeopleSoft.
The Row Security permission lists are used to control specific lookups within PeopleSoft. For example, many pages have a Business Unit, TableSet, Ledgers, Book, and Paycycle Lookups. Row Security and Primary Security are set to specific values. Users will only see data in the system based on the parameters of these permission lists.
ID Tab
This tab identifies the User’s ID Type, Empl ID and Name.
User Roles Tab
