Security Role Mapping: The key to defining future state roles

"How will Finance Strategic Transformation impact my job?  How will what I do each day be different because of FST?"

Those questions are at the top of many minds as spring arrives at UVA and the go-live of Workday Financials is on the horizon for this summer. While we can't say exactly how everyone will be impacted just yet, we're getting close!

The work currently being done in the Security Role Mapping Sprint that began in January will make it clearer to schools and units how their team members' roles might change (or how they might not).  The Security Role Mapping Sprint is working toward a March 11 deadline to submit a draft of Workday security role assignments for their areas.  

Note:  You may hear Security Role Mapping referred to as "Workflow Control & Approvals"

It's intensive work:  the group meets up to three times per week together to compare current Oracle processes and roles to the processes and roles available in Workday.  

They're considering workflow, approvals, separation of duties, and designing the configuration of roles around business processes, not necessarily supervisory relationships.  Although March 11 is the date when mapping will be submitted, schools and units will be able to make shifts in their mapping as needed before go-live.  

Security Role Mapping is a key part of the FST vision, which includes a focus on efficiency and effectiveness and streamlining of our business processes.  Another upside to having the right people in the right roles means that when the time comes for training, we'll know exactly who needs what role-based training.
