Description
The purpose of this recommendation is to ensure that pervasive or substantial abilities to view sensitive data are monitored - for example, data about accounts and financial data.

Erroneous or malicious actions could have substantial impact on operations, finances, and legal/regulatory compliance. Reported as a manual review item: these Fusion/EPM/OCI IAM settings are reviewed in the Oracle SaaS and OCI consoles or reports.
