Role Inheritance in Oracle Fusion HCM

• Each Role is a Hierarchy of other Roles.
• HCM Data Roles inherit Job or Abstract Roles.
• Job and Abstract Roles inherit Duty Roles.
• Duty Roles inherit other Duty Roles.
• When you assign both Data and Abstract roles to users, they inherit the data and function security associated with those roles.

In above screenshot User ABC has 2 Roles.

1. HR Specialist Vision Corporation which is a data role.
2. Employee which is an abstract role.

• Role HR Specialist Vision Corporation inherits the job role Human Resource Specialist which in turn inherits the duty roles that provide access to the tasks and functions that a human resource specialist performs. The security profile assigned to the data role provides the data access for the role.

• Role Employee inherits the duty roles that provide access to all tasks and functions, unrelated to a specific job, that every employee performs. The security profile assigned to the abstract role provides the data access for the role.
