New: Workday security roles

Check out two new pages for information about security roles and role-to-position mapping.

Security roles in Workday determine which information employees can access. Our new security roles page features descriptions and examples of some of the roles employees can have in Workday. We’ll continue to add roles and descriptions to this page as we get closer to launch.

Role-to-position mapping assigns security roles to each employee’s position to provide them with the appropriate information and system access to effectively do their job. This is different from our current system, where information is often tied to a person rather than a position. The Modernization Team is working with area leaders to assign the right roles to each position.

Having the right roles is important to successfully use Workday. These security roles will also help employees find the right training they’ll need to navigate Workday.
