Resource Pool Security

Resource Pool Security

To maintain the security of worker data in resource pools, Workday Projects divides permissions among the users who can:
  • Create and maintain resource pool hierarchies and resource pools without restriction.
  • View and access the workers in a resource pool on the resource plan, in reports, and on the
    Resource Pool Manager
     dashboard.
