Topic #: 8
[All Workday Pro HCM Core Questions]

You are creating a new security group to allow users responsible for security oversight to run Security reports across all organizations.

What type of security group should you create?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D -- User-based.

User-based security groups are manually assigned to specific users and are typically used for administrative or audit-level access. They can be configured as unconstrained, granting full visibility across all organizations and data in the tenant.

For users responsible for security oversight or auditing, a user-based group (such as Security Administrator or Security Auditor) is appropriate. This group can be assigned to the necessary domain and business process security policies that control access to security reports and configuration data.

Other group types (e.g., role-based or segment-based) depend on organizational context and cannot provide unrestricted system-wide visibility, making a user-based group the correct option for full security monitoring.

I think a Role-based group makes the most sense here.

I'm going with C. Role-based security is the perfect fit here. Anything else would be like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

C is the answer. Role-based security is the way to go. Unless you want your security team to spend more time managing permissions than actually, you know, securing things.

C) Role-based (Constrained) is the correct answer. This allows you to grant permissions based on the user's role, which is perfect for security oversight.

If I recall correctly, Role-based groups are designed for specific functions, so C seems like the best choice here.

I’m a bit confused; I thought User-based groups were for individual permissions, but this seems more about roles.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was about defining roles for users, which makes me lean towards C.

I think it might be a Role-based group since it aligns with specific responsibilities, but I'm not entirely sure.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think I'll start by eliminating the options that don't seem to fit, then focus on understanding the differences between role-based and segment-based to make the best choice.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Are rule-based and user-based groups even relevant here? I'll need to carefully consider the differences between segment-based and role-based to make the right call.

I've got this! Based on the description, a role-based (constrained) security group is the way to go. That will let me assign the necessary permissions for security oversight across the organizations.
