Steps: Configure the Eligible Investigator Event Business Process and Security Policy

Steps: Configure the Eligible Investigator Event Business Process and Security Policy

When a user creates, inactivates, or activates an eligible investigator, Workday initiates the
Eligible Investigator Event
business process. Workday doesn't deliver a default definition for this business process. When you create eligible investigators for the first time, you might need to:
  • Create a default definition for the
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process.
  • Configure the security policy of the
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process type to specify which security groups can initiate and approve the business process.
  • Edit the security policy permissions of the
    View: Eligible Investigators
    domain to enable users to report on eligible investigators.
  1. Access the
    Create Business Process Definition (Default Definition)
    task to create a default definition for the
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process.
    Select the
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process type.
    Security:
    Business Process Administration
    and
    Manage: Business Process Definitions
    domains in the System functional area.
  2. Access the
    Edit Business Process Security Policy
    task to specify which security groups can initiate and approve eligible investigator requests.
    Select the
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process type.
    In the
    Who Can Start the Business Process
    section, select the security groups for users whom you want to be able to create, inactivate, and activate an eligible investigator.
    In the
    Who Can Do Actions on Entire Business Process
    section, select the security groups for users whom you want to be able to view, approve, cancel, or deny an
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process type. The security groups you select here determines the selection you can have when you configure the approval steps in an
    Eligible Investigator Event
    business process definition.
    Access the
    Activate Pending Security Policy Changes
    task to confirm and activate your security policy changes.
    Security:
    Security Configuration
    domain in the System functional area.
  3. (Optional) Edit Business Processes to configure the business process so that it routes to specific reviewers for approval.
    Add a row for
    Approval
    and select the security group that can approve the business process.
    To designate different security groups for approving the creation, activation, or inactivation of an eligible investigator:
    1. Add a row for
      Approval
      for each type of initiation, and select the security group that can approve the process.
    2. In the next page, select
      Business Process
      Maintain Step Conditions
      from the related actions menu of each of the
      Approval
      steps, and create a condition rule using 1 of these report fields:
      • Creates Eligible Investigator
      • Inactivates Eligible Investigator
      • Activates Eligible Investigator
  4. From the related actions menu of the View: Eligible Investigators domain, select
    Domain
    Edit Security Policy Permissions
    to specify security groups that can view the
    Find Eligible Investigators
    report.
Users from the specified security groups can:
  • Create, inactivate, and activate eligible investigators.
  • Approve, deny, or cancel eligible investigator creation, activation, and inactivation requests.
  • Report on the eligible investigators on the tenant.
For each role assignment that you want to replace with an eligible investigator on an award, grant, and grant hierarchy:
  1. Remove the position-based role assignment for the person for whom you created an eligible investigator.
  2. Select the eligible investigator for the same person (prefixed with Eligible Investigator:) to assign to the same role.
