Action period security

Use action period security to enforce security rules for a specific period, either past, present, or future. This type of security implementation can be used to prevent users from viewing certain data for certain period. For example, it can be used to prevent an employee from viewing a pay rate change that is scheduled to occur in the future. These security roles support the use of action period security:

  • Employee
  • HRGeneralistEmp

If a user has the Employee role plus another role, such as CompensationAnalyst, then the least restrictive access prevails. Thus, a compensation analyst can see future records, including their own employee record.

Implementing action period security

To implement action period security, you must activate the feature for your data area using the secadm utility:

secadm security actionperiod hcm on

where hcm is the name of your data area.

To disable action period security after it has been implemented, run this secadm command:

secadm security actionperiod hcm off

where hcm is the name of your data area.
