Greetings NSU Community,

Workday Security is advanced enough to keep your data secure but easy enough to configure on multiple levels. Maintaining Approvals and setting up Delegations ensures the right user has access to the business processes and that they kick off and are properly routed.

1. Security Roles: With Configurable Security, you can define what a user can see and do in Workday. The Security Role assignments control what data a user can view too.
2. User-Based vs. Role-Based: Workday creates an environment to easily assign Security Roles. Assignable Security can be configured with enterprise-wide access or linked to a specific position.
3. Approvals: A Designated user will be assigned to specific tasks and business processes with the ability to approve, deny, or send back an inbox item.
4. Delegations: Managing Delegations is straightforward in Workday. With different Delegation Types, you can reassign your business process actions to another user without removing ownership while maintaining a clean audit trail.

Your Call to Action

1. Please review the Readiness Workshop #3 - Security, Roles, and Delegations Recording to gain further insights about Workday and navigation of the system. You should review no later than 12/15/2025. Click here to watch both recordings: https://workday.nsu.edu/secure/readiness-workshop-videos.php
   • Security Roles, Approvals, and Delegations Overview
   • Security Roles, Approvals, and Delegations Meeting
2. A Workday Implementation Website has been developed and launched to be the centralized communication hub for the Workday Implementation at NSU. At your earliest convenience, please visit https://workday.nsu.edu/ and add this website to your favorites. Information is continually updated on the website. This will be your one-stop shop for all things Workday.

We will hold another Readiness Workshop on January 22nd, focusing on Manager Self-Service. More information will be shared regarding this workshop.

Ultimately, I acknowledge that change can be challenging, especially as we transition to Workday. That's why we have the Change Management team and us, the Change Navigators, providing helpful content to simplify the transition. Your comments, questions, concerns, or excitement are always welcome during the implementation process. Feel free to reach out to the change navigators or use the dedicated email address to submit your inquiries at workday@nsu.edu.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we embark on this exciting journey with Workday!

Best,

Zenora E. Gay, Ph.D.
