Q

Security Tips: Security methodology

A

Workday’s security framework allows you to configure which users have access to the delivered content via security policy configurations.

Security groups are the bridge between system users and security policies.

You can configure security groups in needed domain or business process security policies to grant access to security group members to delivered areas of Workday.

Q

Security Tips: Recommendations

A

KEEP IT SIMPLE

DESIGN TOP DOWN

  • Start w/user-based groups.
  • Layer in role-based (constrained) groups.
  • Think of your business partners first.

KEEP EFFICIENCY IN MIND

  • Assign permissions at the highest node in the hierarchy to take advantage of inheritance, using the option for current and unassigned subordinates.
  • Only assign at the lower levels when necessary.

TEST!

Q

Security Tips: Managing Workforce Security Assignments

A

As part of staffing transactions where workers are terminating or changing jobs, it is important to ensure security group membership, specifically revisiting role-assignments and removing user-based security groups assignments.

  • Use the Assign Roles sub-process in staffing transaction BP definitions
  • Use delivered services, add service steps to staffing transaction BP definitions
  • Service step to Remove User-Based Security Groups
  • Service step to Terminate User Account
  • In addition, leverage delivered reports and shared solutions to audit changes

41
Q

The user that initiates the business process instance.

43
Q

Business Process Configuration Options Report

A

Enables you to determine how a business process type can be configured by detailing the options available and any restrictions.

44
Q

BP Column: Step

A

This leftmost column holds the related action icon which contains available actions for the particular step of the business process.

45
Q

BP Column: Order

A

This determines the order of execution for the steps within a business process. Use letters. Numbers are sorted alphabetically, not numerically, so 10 sorts before 2.

The initiation step is always a. Use characters b through z for the remaining steps.

If you use the exact same string. For example: three steps are d, they run in parallel and all must be completed in order for the next step to proceed. You can also skip letters.

46
Q

BP Column: If

A

A condition is part of a business process step and consists of one or more rules an “if” statement. The step will not occur, if the condition is not satisfied.

48
Q

BP Column: Specify

A

This is where you specify the type of step. For example: Type = Action; Specify = Propose Compensation

49
Q

BP Column: Optional

A 
Yes = Step is Optional
No = Step is Required

An optional step does not have to be completed. The notification message contains a link that the recipient can click to skip the step. The next step does not begin until the recipient either chooses to skip it or completes it.

50
Q

BP Column: Group

A

Specify one ore more security groups responsible for this step. The available security groups are limited to those allowed by the security policy. This step appears in everyone’s inbox automatically and is removed when someone in the group completes the step.

51
Q

BP Column: Routing Restrictions

A

You can optionally define routing restrictions and alternate routing for certain business process step types (Initiation and Checklist step types cannot be rerouted)

A

When a completion step finishes, the business process is listed as complete, even if there are more steps to do. For example, a person can be listed as “hired,” even if the steps for having the new employee enter their personal information and W-4 form are not done, yet.

Completion makes the data for this business process available to other systems like Payroll or General Ledger. Make sure all approval steps and Review action steps come before the completion step. If there is no completion step, the business process is considered complete when the last step finishes.

57

61
Q

BP Step Type: Batch / Job
