HRMS Access Configuration • One responsibility per country to connect worker with legislation due to single business group • Separate responsibilities for • HR using salary data • HR by major geographies • Read-only (business partners) • Special training (ADI, Transfer, etc.) • Help Desk, Compensation, Security • System configuration, administration • Over 50 active responsibilities to govern HRMS • About 20 “Roles” which use various combinations
HRMS Script using API: • Uses HRMS Data for active status and employee/manager • Fax field from user record (not extensible) used for “role” • Inactive user accounts hold responsibilities for a template, “role”, which is matched to the user fax field • Manual update of fax field (plans to automate this as well) • Daily Concurrent Job performs the following: • Updates user responsibilities to template values. • Updates users due to fax field value or template change • Creates/modifies new users, ends terminated users • Links the user to the related person/assignment record • Maintains manager/employee role for non HR/IT users
Issues and Considerations • Multiple Business Groups would simplify greatly • New versions of Oracle are addressing these issues • Configuration of taskflows (screens) has overhead for salary and non-salary access • Critical to have common ID in place for both user account and within the HRMS module person/assignment record. • Daily job ignores records with no link to allow exceptions • Extensive testing and close coordination is important • Document this type of program in detail for SOX • Errors in user account have been eliminated once a few bugs in program were resolved and date range adjusted. • Allows easy audit of the non-linked user accounts
