CAT Security Overview

Five security roles have been developed for the Compensation Administration Tool (CAT) which will allow access to CAT-specific pages and functionality using PeopleSoft row-level security.  CAT Access is separate from HRS access, and you may request access to the CAT even if you do not have HRS access.  However, some links in the CAT that refer to HRS data may not be accessible.  Row-level security tiers data and grants users access to a single division or department but not multiple divisions or departments.  For example, if a user only has access to one division in the CAT, but needs access to multiple divisions because an employee has split funding, they will need to move up an entire security level to view the entire institution.
