About Security Codes
You can use security codes to define the application-specific security for views corresponding to an Oracle E-Business Suite module that supports application-specific security. In Noetix Views (NoetixViews), the application-specific security is enforced over the existing organizational unit-based security. When the application-specific security is enforced, access to the data in Noetix views is determined based on security rules, security profiles, budget access levels, and service request types. The following security codes can be used to enforce applications-specific security for views in the NoetixViews Workbench:
Account: Enforces application-specific security based on the flexfield security rules. This type of application-specific security can be enforced on views pertaining to Oracle General Ledger that contain the GL CODE COMBINATIONS tables.
HR: Enforces application-specific security based on the HR security profiles. This type of application-specific security can be enforced on views pertaining to Oracle Human Resources, Oracle Advanced Benefits, Oracle Payroll, and Oracle Time and Labor.
Budget Level: Enforces application-specific security based on budget access levels. This type of application-specific security can be enforced on views pertaining to Oracle U.S. Federal Financials if the views include a call to the N SEC MANAGER MDSEC PKG.CHECK BUDGET LEVEL ACCESS package function.
SR Type: Enforces application-specific security based on service request types. This type of application-specific security can be enforced on views pertaining to Oracle Depot Repair, Oracle Field Service, and Oracle TeleService that contain the CS INCIDENTS ALL B table or the
For more information about application-specific security, see the MagnitudeNoetixViews Administrator Guide.
