Create Security Configuration Packages with Object Transporter

Create Security Configuration Packages with Object Transporter

You create a security configuration package by selecting domain or business process security policies associated with a specified functional area. Object Transporter can migrate a security configuration package containing any number of security policies.
Before migration in the Object Transporter workflow, Workday detects any modifications between security policies in a package and the corresponding policies on the target tenant. You can specify whether to merge the modifications with target tenant policies, or overwrite the corresonding target tenant policies, either individually, or for all modifications.
  1. Sign in to the source tenant where you want to create a security configuration package.
  2. Access the
    Create Security Configuration Package
     task.
  3. Select 1 or more functional areas from the
    Functional Areas by Workday Solution
     drop-down list.
  4. Select the type of security policies that you want to migrate:
    Domain, or
    Business Process
    .
    Workday displays the domain or business process security policies associated with the selected functional areas.
  5. As you complete this task, consider:
    Option Description
    Remove Security Groups from Target Tenant
    Select security groups that you want to remove from the security configuration package.
    Workday only removes security groups from domain security policies in a target tenant if you also select an
    Edit Migration Behavior
     override option when you migrate the package. In Object Transporter, select:
    • Override
       when the only changes in the package are removals.
    • Manual Selection
      Override
       when you need to individually specify which items to remove.
    When you enable override behavior, you might not be able to access the tasks and reports you can access in the source tenant.
    Add Row
    Add additional functional areas to the security configuration package, if required.
    Remove Row
    Exclude specific security policies from the security configuration package.
Migrate the security configuration package.
