1. Job Roles
Job roles represent the job that you hire a worker to perform. Accounts Payable Manager, General Accountant, Accounts Receivable Specialist, Asset Accountant, Human Resource Analyst and Payroll Manager are examples of predefined job roles. You can also create job roles. Typically, you include job roles in data roles and assign those data roles to users. The IT Security Manager and Application Implementation Consultant predefined job roles are exceptions to this general rule because they're not considered HCM job roles. Also, you don't define their data scope in HCM security profiles.
2. Data Roles
Data roles combine a worker's job and the data that users with the job must access.
For example, the user’s work is to enter AP Invoice, but to enter invoices user need access to a particular Job Role as well as BU, to get the access user needs below.
1. Job Role (Ex: Accounts Payable Specialist: To navigate to “create invoice” task)
2. BU/Ledger (Ex: Tata Motors Business Unit: To enter the transaction-specific to BU) (Ledger in case of you are entering GL Journal)
So the combination of Job Role + BU/PL will give you the access to enter the transaction-specific to BU/Ledger.
3. Abstract Roles
Abstract roles represent a worker's role in the "enterprise" independently of the job that you hire the worker to do. The three main abstract roles predefined in Oracle HCM Cloud are:
Employee
Contingent Worker
Line Manager
You can also create abstract roles. All workers are likely to have at least one abstract role. Their abstract roles enable users to access standard functions, such as managing their own information and searching the worker directory. You assign abstract roles directly to users.
4. Duty Roles
Duty roles provide access to the application functions that users require to perform the tasks associated with the duty. The access is defined as an entitlement, which consist of privileges. Duty roles are a type of application role. The reference implementation contains predefined duty roles. For example, the Accounts Payable Manager job role inherits the Approving Payables Invoices Duty role. For example, the Human Resource Specialist job role inherits the Worker Administration Duty role.
Each predefined duty role represents a logical grouping of privileges that you may want to copy and edit. Duty roles differ from aggregate privileges as follows:
They include multiple function security privileges.
They can inherit aggregate privileges and other duty roles.
You can create duty roles.
Job and abstract roles may inherit duty roles either directly or indirectly. You can include predefined and custom duty roles in custom job and abstract roles. You don't assign duty roles directly to users.
