What role is required to view confidential data on the HR Profile?

The Profile Reader Role is specifically designed to grant users access to view confidential data on the HR Profile. This role allows designated individuals to access sensitive HR information while ensuring that only authorized personnel are privy to this data.

In the context of HR operations, protecting confidential information is critical, and the Profile Reader Role strikes a balance by providing essential access without overextending permissions. It is tailored for users who need to review employee information for various HR tasks without having the broader privileges that might come with roles like Admin or HR Manager.

The Admin Role typically encompasses a wider array of permissions that include managing and configuring the overall ServiceNow instance, which is not necessary solely for viewing HR Profile data. The HR Manager Role, while it may involve overseeing HR activities, doesn’t inherently include access to all confidential data unless specified. The Compliance Officer Role may also focus on ensuring adherence to regulations but does not specifically grant visibility to HR confidential data by default.

In summary, the Profile Reader Role is the appropriate designation for ensuring that those who need to view confidential HR profiles can do so securely, aligning with best practices for data privacy within the organization.
