Oracle Assets shares organization and hierarchy information with Oracle Human Resources. If your business does not currently use Oracle Human Resources, you define this data using the Oracle Human Resources windows provided with Oracle Assets.

FA: Security Profile
The FA: Security Profile profile option restricts access to the organizations defined in the security profile. The options available for the FA: Security Profile are the previously defined security profile values.

For example, you may want to set up the security profiles for the ABC Corporation. Since there is a one to one correspondence between an organization and a security profile, a logical naming standard for the security profile value would include the organization name and the organization identification number. In this case, the organization ABC Corporation might have a security profile value of ABC_Corporation_100, the organization Americas might have a profile value of Americas_200, and so forth.

Restrictions
Users associated with a security profile are not able to delete setup data (such as categories and depreciation methods). These types of deletions must be performed by someone with access to the FA Manager responsibility, and who is not associated with a security profile and can therefore, access all data.

You cannot create a tax book for an organization in a node that is higher up in the security hierarchy than its associated corporate book. To prevent the data in your corporate and tax books from becoming corrupted, a tax book must be at the same level or at a lower level than its associated corporate book.
