Troubleshooting: Resource Pool Manager Can't Assign Workers to Pools

Troubleshooting: Resource Pool Manager Can't Assign Workers to Pools

Resource pool managers can't access all project workers in all resource pools. Workday restricts resource pool managers to creating new resource pools only from their original resource pool assignment.
The
Resource Pool Manager
 security group is a constrained security group. It only enables resource pool managers to access the workers in their assigned resource pools.
Create an unconstrained role-based security group for resource pool managers. Then, assign the new security group and the resource pool manager to a resource pool.
