Data Item Security

Within Infor Human Capital Management, you can secure the access to specific data items at the field level. This security is specific to the Infor Human Capital Management applications and does not access the environment security.

You assign each data item a one-digit security level of 0 to 9. If the data item has a security level of 0 or 9, the data item is not secured.

Using User Data Item Security (HR09), you also assign the user's login a one-digit security level of 0 to 9. This security level is specific to Infor Human Capital Management. In order to access the data item, a user must have an HR security level equal or lower than the security level of the data item.

If you do not assign the user a security level, the value defaults to 9 which is the lowest security clearance.

Field level security is available for these types of data items.

  • Employee, deduction, and application master data items as well as job code, and supervisor data items. Data items are secured for both inquiry and update functions.

  • User field data items

  • All topics and data items available to HR Writer

Example

The Rate of Pay data item is assigned a security level of 1.

Users are assigned the following security levels.

User ID Security Level
Jonathan Stewart 1
Grace Whitby 1
Kelsey Wavey 9
Paul Jordan 9

Kelsey Wavey and Paul Jordan do not have access to Rate of Pay data items because their security level is higher than the security level of Rate of Pay.
