What two security areas are controlled by consistent policy definitions in Oracle Fusion HCM?

In Oracle Fusion HCM, consistent policy definitions play a crucial role in controlling security across various aspects of the application, particularly in functional and data security.

Functional security pertains to the access and permissions related to specific functions or features within the system. By establishing consistent policies, organizations can ensure that users see and interact with the functions that align with their roles, effectively maintaining appropriate access levels based on job responsibilities. For example, someone in a payroll role would have access to payroll functions while an employee in HR administration may have a different set of permissions tailored to their job.
