Role Assignments for Worker Position
Displays an overview of assignable roles , security group membership, and access rights for the specified worker. Includes whether the role is inherited or directly assigned, and whether the role is active or inactive. You can limit results to specific roles, and filter out inactive organizations and inherited role assignments. If you enable time zones on role assignments, this report prompts you for an effective time zone, and the effective moment that Workday retrieves the role assignments.
Role Assignment Permissions
Displays the security group whose members can administer each role. Enables you to view or edit the security groups that you can assign workers to each assignable role.
Roles for Organizations and Subordinates
Displays the organization hierarchy of subordinate organizations. Select an organization in the hierarchy to see all the assignable roles, the worker in each, and whether they fill that role by assignment. If you enable time zones on role assignments, this report prompts you for an effective time zone and displays the effective moment that Workday retrieves the role assignments.
Security History
Displays changes to roles and security for an organization in the specified time and date range.
Security History for User
Displays all security transactions for a user for the selected time and date range. Details include additions and removals for security groups over time.

Unassigned Roles Audit
Displays roles with no assigned positions. Details include the organization type, unassigned roles, and the minimum roles to assign.
Unassigned Organization Roles Audit

Displays an overview of all assignable roles, including the types of organizations that are role-enabled, the default role, and whether it’s restricted to single assignment, hidden if not assigned, or a leadership role. You can also see which security groups can assign specific roles. This report also includes security group and access right information associated with each role.
Role Assignment Audit History
Displays an audit trail of role assignment snapshots in chronological order. To get a complete history of role assignments, use this report in combination with the
Security History
and

reports.

Displays assignable roles, when they were assigned, and the workers to whom they were assigned.
When you configure the
Role Assignment Time Zone Option
on the
Edit Tenant Setup – System
task, it displays the processing user's time zone on the
Role Assignment History
tab of the
Role Assignment History
report.
Role Assignment Snapshots for Role Assignees
If you're experiencing performance issues, this report will help to determine which role assignments are creating the biggest problems related to security evaluation. Rolees with no snapshots won't display in the
Role Assignment Snapshots for Role Assignee
report.
Note that performance problems can occur when the sum of the "Total Snapshot Count for Role Assignment" for all rows is greater than 100,000.
Role Assignees with Highest Role Assignment Snapshot Volume
Helps to identify role assignees with the highest number of role assignment snapshots. It displays the top position IDs to use in the
Role Assignment Snapshots for Role Assignee
report. It helps to determine whether a high-volume of role assignments is causing performance issues.
Worker Roles Audit
Displays the workers in a specified organization and any assignable roles, user-based or job-based security groups, or process-maintained roles to which they belong.

  • Inherited Role Assignments:

  • Role Assigned to Workers:
    Returns workers assigned to specified roles, including directly assigned, inherited, or default role assignments.
