Frequently asked questions
Yes, user access reviews (UARs) are a fundamental internal control for safeguarding security and ensuring compliance in today’s complex IT environments. UARs validate the actions a user can perform within Workday, such as viewing or modifying data, and require someone with the right context or oversight to confirm that those permissions (or access) remain appropriate given the user’s current role. Regular reviews reduce the likelihood of privilege creep, insider threats, and audit failures, and help organisations enforce least-privilege access across Workday.
Automating user access reviews in Workday transforms a typically manual, error-prone process into an efficient, consistent control. It eliminates spreadsheets and email coordination, accelerates review cycles, provides real-time tracking with audit-ready evidence, and reduces administrative effort while increasing accuracy and compliance readiness.
