Who qualifies as a Role Maintainer in Workday?

In Workday, a Role Maintainer is defined as a specific type of user who has the responsibility for managing and maintaining roles within the system. This functionality is typically limited to members of specific security groups that have been granted the authority to handle assignable roles. These security groups are outlined in a security configuration setting called "Maintain Assignable Roles."

This focused access ensures that only authorized individuals have the capability to make changes to roles, preventing unauthorized modifications and helping maintain the integrity and security of the organizational structure within Workday. By assigning this responsibility to particular groups, it helps in proper governance and accountability for role management.

The other options do not align with the definition and functioning of Role Maintainers in Workday. For example, limiting this function to IT department staff only, or extending it to all users or anyone with managing roles, would scatter the control and could lead to security risks or confusion regarding role assignments.
