Award Analyst security role to be removed

We’ve begun the process of withdrawing the Award Analyst role from Workday. The removal of this role will streamline Workday security roles and reduce administrative burden in Sponsored Programs Services (SPS).

SPS and Modernization recommend the Financial Data View Only role for the purpose of viewing SPS reports, in place of the more limited Award Analyst role.

Before we remove the role completely from Workday, we are testing if any unforeseen issues result from its removal by first withdrawing the role from awards in the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture.

Once we complete testing and are prepared to remove the role system-wide, we will reach out to those holding the Award Analyst role with more information about impacts and next steps.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the Award Analyst role, please submit a ticket at the Workday Service Desk.
