Workday Security: New Grants Support Personas

Two new Workday security personas: Persona Grants Support Level 1 and Persona Grants Support Level 2 have been created to simplify Workday access requests for decentralized staff supporting unit-level grant functions.

  • Level 1 persona provides access to view grant-related finance and spend information within Workday.
  • Level 2 persona includes view access, as well as the ability to initiate costing allocations and payroll accounting adjustments.

Personas consolidate several security roles into a single, unified security group. This update simplifies the access request for these grants support positions by allowing you to request one persona rather than multiple security roles.

Use the Request Workday Access with a Persona job aid for detailed documentation on the specific functional responsibilities assigned to each persona, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to request access.
