The process of creating and maintaining positions is similar to managing other objects in Employee Central, where an administrator can choose to make corrections or insert new records. These records are effective-dated. The benefit of having the Manage Positions tool is that an administrator can have control of administering and maintaining Positions in Position Management, without having access to other data records in the Metadata Framework.
Therefore, in role-based permissions, a Manage Position permission can be found on the Metadata Framework permission category, and this permission is separated from the Manage Data permission that allows to create records for any generic object. Other examples of this "separation" from the global permission to create and manage records for specific generic objects only, are the permissions Manage Sequence or Manage Mass Changes for Metadata Objects, that will be also used in this training.
