Securing
Attributes
Securing
Attributes are used by the Oracle Self-Service Web Applications. Securing
Attributes allow rows of data to be visible to specified users or
responsibilities based on the values contained in the row. Securing Attributes must be assigned at both
the user and responsibility level.
Example: If you want to
restrict the user Jane with responsibility of 'Admin' to see only those rows
where customer_id = 1000 then assign the securing attribute ICX_CUSTOMER_ID to the responsibility
'Admin' then the securing attribute ICX_CUSTOMER_ID
and value of 1000 to the user, Jane.
