Concept: Security for Worker Photos

Concept: Security for Worker Photos

Access to worker photos is secured through a combination of:
  • Domain security policies, which control who can view and modify worker photos.
  • The business process security policy for the
    Photo Change
     business process, which controls who can perform actions on the
    Photo Change
     business process.

Viewing Worker Photos

To view and modify worker photos in Workday, set up the security on these domains:
  • Self-Service: Personal Photo
  • Person Data: Personal Photo
These domains control access to worker photos on profiles, preview cards, directory swirls, and elsewhere in Workday.
On the
Person Data: Personal Photo
 domain, users can see worker photos in directory swirls if they are granted access to either the
Report/Task Permissions
 or the
Integration Permissions
. Visibility for all other worker photos is secured to
Report/Task Permissions
 only.
Use the
Domain Security Policies for Functional Area
 report to manage permissions. These domains are in the Personal Data functional area.

Changing and Editing Photos

The security policy for the
Photo Change
 business process controls who can perform these initiating actions:
  • Change My Photo
  • Edit Photo
  • Delete Photo
  • Delete My Photo
You can also regulate who can perform actions on the business process such as approve, cancel, and rescind.
Use the
Business Process Security Policies for Functional Area
 report to manage permissions. The
Photo Change
 business process is secured to the Personal Data functional area.
