In PeopleSoft HCM, records (database tables) are assigned to query trees for reporting purposes. Access to one or more query trees is granted based on assigned roles and gives users access to all records found on the corresponding query trees. Typically, records containing higher level data are assigned to query trees that are only accessible to those in roles who must be able to query that level of data en masse. Query tree access does not affect page access.

PeopleSoft HCM also utilizes row level security which enables users to access a record without viewing all rows of the record. Row level security is typically implemented for records with position and/or employee data. Row level security applies to most page access, as well as Query, a built-in reporting tool.
