PeopleSoft security
User Profiles
Roles
Permission Lists
User Profiles
Define the individual users of your PeopleSoft system
Set of data describing a particular user of your
PeopleSoft system
Information about the user such as e-mail address,
language code, and password
Assign process profiles, row-level security or business
unit security at the User Profile level
User Profiles are linked to Roles to grant access to
specific areas within the PeopleSoft application
Roles
Roles are assigned to User Profiles
Intermediate objects that link User Profiles to Permission
Lists
Multiple roles can be assigned to a single User Profile
Examples: Applicant, Employee, Vendor, Accounts Payable
Clerk, and Manager
Roles allow you to mix and match access to your PeopleSoft
system
Roles can be assigned to User Profiles manually or
dynamically
Permission List
Lowest level of PeopleSoft security
Grants access to pages, PeopleTools, and sign-on times
Assign actions such as Add, Update /Display, and
Correction

scalable your PS security will be
Multiple Permission Lists can be assigned to a single role
