Concept: Business View Data Source Security
Workday applies security to the data in a business view data source based on the security defined on the underlying data. Users only have access to data in a business view data source if they also have access to the underlying data as secured by existing domains.
For each component data source that contributes data to the business view data source, Workday selects a security domain to enforce the data (instances, fields, and field values) that comes from the component data source.
One of the component data sources is designated as the primary component data source. Each business view data source has multiple domains that secure it, and they all come from each component data source. The domain for the primary component data source is a required domain for creating reports using the business view data source.
To create reports using a business view data source, you must have access to:
- The domain of the primary data source.
- The domain that controls the field used in any filter condition defined in the business view.
When you run a report using a business view data source:
- You must have access to the domain of the primary data source.
- If the report defines a filter, then you must have access to the domain that controls the field used in the filter condition.
- If a matrix report includes a Group By field, then you must have access to the domain that controls the grouping field.
- If a matrix report includes a Summarization field, then you must have access to the domain that controls the Summarization field.
- If a matrix report includes a field in View By or Drill Down, then you must have access to the domain that controls the View By or Drill Down field.
- To see specific data records, fields, and field values in the report, you must have access to the domains that secure those data records, fields, and values.
