If you want to override the default data security for specific users in FAW, what steps would you take?

• A. Use SSO to synchronize users and job roles.
• B. Deploy a new Fusion Applications environment.
• C. Create a custom data role and set up data filters that specify values for specific dimensions.
• D. Modify global FAW security policy.

Answer: (C)

FAW controls who can see which data through data roles and data filters. To override default data security for specific users, you create a custom data role and attach data filters that specify permissible values for certain dimensions (for example, a particular business unit, department, or other dimension you’re using to segment data). Assigning this custom role to the user makes their data access follow these filters, effectively tailoring visibility for that individual while preserving the overarching security framework.

This approach is preferable to altering the global policy or changing environment settings, which would impact all users or require broad changes. It’s also not about identity provisioning or SSO—those handle who a user is, not precisely what data they can view—so they don’t achieve per-user data override.
