Overview
Security is a feature that enables individuals to access, load, or consolidate data based
on their responsibility within an organization. For example, consolidation managers at
corporate headquarters may need access to the entire corporate hierarchy, whereas
those at a subsidiary may only be allowed access to the data related to their region.
Additionally, consolidation analysts at corporate headquarters may only be allowed to
input consolidation adjustments, but not to launch the consolidation process.
Financial Consolidation Hub enables you to secure data using either or both of the
following security methods:
•
Role-based security
•
Function-based security
Security for Enterprise Planning and Budgeting (EPB) reporting is not discussed in this
chapter. Financial Consolidation Hub security does not transfer to EPB. For information
on security for EPB reporting, see Administering Security, Oracle Enterprise Planning and
Budgeting User's Guide.
Role-Based Security
Roles represent one or more users. You must perform the following steps to use the role
based security model:
1.
Create users, which creates roles automatically.
2.
Optionally, group users within roles.
3.
Assign roles to entities and/or hierarchies.
