Security Role Request Process

This guide provides the necessary steps on how to request changes to your Workday security role. Security roles in Workday are role-based, meaning the security is tied to the job profile and not the individual.

Workday

Start from the Workday homepage.

Enter and select **Create Request** using the **Search** bar.

Select **Security Roles Assignment** as the **Request Type**, and then **OK**.

If you’re initiating the process for a different employee, enter their name in the **On Behalf Of** field. **Note:** If the request is for the initiator's access, leave it blank.

Select the type of security role change, either **New Role Assignment** or **Remove Role Assignment** and select the **Security Role(s)**.

Complete the fields in the questionnaire. **Note:** A detailed explanation for the role assignment change request is required for approval and auditing purposes. Include any relevant **Comments** or **Attachments** (optional) and select **Submit**. **Note:** The request is routed to the lead HR Partner for the division or college for approval. Following approval, the request routes to CSU's Workday security administrators to update the security role assignments.
