The customer requires that a team of payroll clerks be able to view the output of a task submitted by another user. Which Owner Type should be configured against the task?

To allow a specific team, such as payroll clerks, to view the output of a task submitted by another user, a group-based security configuration is required. The 'Group' owner type enables an administrator to assign viewing permissions for a task's output to a predefined group of users. This ensures that all members of the designated team can access the results, regardless of who submitted the task. This method aligns with Oracle's security model for payroll flows, which uses Process Configuration Groups to control access to processes and reports, thereby adhering to the principle of least privilege.

A. User: This option restricts output visibility solely to the individual user who submitted the process, which prevents the required team access.
B. All: This grants universal access to the output, which is an unnecessary security risk and is not specific to the designated team.
D. Active Users: This is overly broad, granting access to all currently logged-in users rather than just the authorized payroll team. ---
