Concept: Union Fields Security

Although a union field can inherit multiple security domains, report viewers don't necessarily need access to every domain. Workday respects the field-level and field value-level security applied to the underlying data by only displaying data to users who have the appropriate security permissions.

When viewing a report, you need access to:

1 or more of the field domains to see the field.
The domains that secure particular data records and values to see those records and values.

Example: You have a union field that combines these input fields:

Input Field 1
comes from the Receipt Line and is secured by domain A.
Input Field 2
comes from the Supplier Invoice Line and is secured by domain B.

The user has access to both domain A and domain B.

When viewing the report, the user sees:

Other Business View Field	Union Field
Data record from Receipt Line	Value
Data record from Supplier Invoice Line	Value

The user has access to domain A, but not domain B. When viewing the report, the user sees:

Other Business View Field	Union Field
Data record from Receipt Line	Value
Data record from Supplier Invoice Line	( empty )

The user has access to domain B, but not domain A. When viewing the report, the user sees:

Other Business View Field	Union Field
Data record from Receipt Line	( empty )
Data record from Supplier Invoice Line	Value

The user has access to neither domain A nor domain B. When viewing the report, the user sees:

Other Business View Field
Data record from Receipt Line
Data record from Supplier Invoice Line
