What security group type is best for providing end-users with specific task access within Workday?

Role-based security groups are designed specifically to provide end-users with access to functions and data based on their roles within the organization. This ensures that individuals have the necessary permissions to carry out their tasks while limiting access to information or functions that are irrelevant or potentially sensitive outside their specific scope of work.

By utilizing role-based security groups, organizations can align the security configurations with their operational structure, making it easier to manage access. These groups are dynamic and can adapt as roles within the organization evolve, ensuring that employees maintain the appropriate access aligned to their changing responsibilities.

Other security group types, such as standard security groups, typically offer broad access settings that may not align closely with specific job functions. Integration security groups focus on managing application interactions, while custom security groups, though flexible, require more setup and may not directly correspond to defined organizational roles, making them less optimal for task-based access.
