Who typically has the authority to configure permissions in Oracle HCM Cloud?

In Oracle HCM Cloud, the ability to configure permissions is generally the responsibility of the System Administrator. This role is critical because it encompasses comprehensive knowledge of the system’s functionality and security protocols. System Administrators have the necessary access rights and technical expertise to establish and modify user permissions, ensuring that individuals have the appropriate access to the resources and data they need based on their roles within the organization.

The System Administrator is tasked with managing not only user permissions but also maintaining the integrity and security of the system overall. This includes configuring settings that dictate who can view, edit, or manage specific types of data, which is essential for compliance with organizational policies and regulations.

In contrast, roles such as HR Generalists, Line Managers, or all employees do not typically possess the authority or capability to configure system-wide permissions due to the potential security risks and the complexity involved in making such changes. These roles might have specific permissions related to their functions, but they do not extend to the comprehensive administrative capabilities required to configure permissions within the system.
