Configure Security for Audit Tag Segments

Security:
  • Create one or more segment-based security groups and add security groups to each.
  • Security: These domains in the System functional area:
    • Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments
    • Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments - Add Only
    • Set Up: Audit Tag Security Segments
You use the
Set Up: Audit Tag Security Segments
 domain to create and edit audit tag segments and to assign audit tags to audit tag segments. You use the
Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments
 domain and the
Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments - Add Only
 domain to secure the audit tags and audit tag assignments.
You can secure the auditing process by assigning audit tags to audit tag segments. Audit tag segments enable you to secure access to audit tags to the security groups that you select.
  1. Access
    Create Audit Tag Segment
    .
  2. In
    Audit Tag
    , select the audit tags you want the new segment to secure.
    These audit tags are viewable only by users with access to the audit tag segment.
  3. From the

     related actions:
    • Select

      View Audit Trail
       to see:
      • What audit tags you added or removed during a specified time period.
      • Who added or removed the audit tags.
Workday uses the new segment to restrict access to the audit tags to only users who belong to a segment-based security group in the
Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments - Add Only
 domain or the
Set Up: Audit Tags and Assignments
 domain.
Your company has human resources auditors and financial auditors. To simplify and improve the auditing process, you want to restrict the human resources audit tags to human resources auditors and the financial audit tags to financial auditors. You set up 1 segment named Human Resources Auditors and another segment named Financial Auditors. These audit tag segments enable you to grant access rights to specific audit tags for the security groups that you specify.
  • Create audit tags and assign these business objects to the instances you want to audit:
    • Business process definitions.
    • Custom report definitions.
    • User-based security groups.
    • Domain security policies.
    • Integration systems.
  • Run auditing-related reports that enable you to see and respond to changes to the instances.
