    • An option in Human Resources Configuration provides a list of HR profile fields that can be enabled for edit. Understand the difference between how the personal and the employment information fields are updated in the HR profile based on this configuration.

    Typically, organizations allow employees to update certain personal information, but not sensitive and employment information. HR agents or managers change this information. For example, employees can change their home address and personal email address, but the manager must update the position when the employee is promoted.

    Nota:
    Use the configurable allow list to add fields that users can modify themselves. This allow list is a system property and accessed by going to All > HR Administration > Properties. The list of user editable fields appears as comma separated list. The property name is sn_hr_core.hr_profile_editable_fields.

    In the configuration option field list, all the personal information fields are enabled for edit by default. All employees can open their HR profile from the HRSM Portal and update these fields. If you do not want to allow employees to update one or more of these fields, disable editing by clearing the check box in the configurable list. For example, you do not want employees updating their work email address or phone number.

    ACLs control the HR profile personal information fields, which can be modified for more controlled access.

    You must have the sn_hr_core.secure_info_reader role to view the Social Security field on an HR profile. This role is contained in the sn_hr_core.manager role.

    The employment information fields that you enable for edit allows a manager to update the field. However, the manager cannot open an employee HR profile. The manager must submit an employee information change request with the updated information. When the request to change the editable fields is submitted, the HR Employee Change Workflow takes the following actions.
    • Opens an HR case.
    • Updates the employee HR profile.
    • Closes the HR case.

    To update any HR profile fields that are not editable, employees or their managers submit an employee information change request. An HR case is created and the HR Employee Change Workflow is started. The workflow requires that the change request is approved. When it is approved, the fields are updated and the HR case is closed.
