Workday Security Configuration Guide

1. Business process (BP) and domain security policies control access to workflows and data in domains. Each BP and domain has its own unique security policy. Security is configured at the domain level to control group access to all items within a domain. 2. Security configuration testing ensures data is only visible and accessible to authorized users. It checks what users can see, initiate, approve, or reject based on their permissions. 3. Thorough testing of business process configurations and security is important since security is often overlooked. It is critical to test what access different user roles have in the system.
