Map Strategic Sourcing Roles in User Provisioning Workspace

    User Provisioning Workspace
     task.

    .

    .

When users sign in to Strategic Sourcing, they receive immediate and correct permissions. If multiple roles are assigned to a single user, Workday automatically grants the highest level of privilege. Workday also locks the roles for users provisioned through UPW to prevent manual modifications within
Strategic Sourcing User List
 settings.
