Do delegates inherit the security profile of the delegator?

Delegates do inherit the security profile of the delegator in Workday, which means that when a user designates a delegate for certain tasks or responsibilities, the delegate gains the same access and permissions as the delegator for the duration of the delegation. This capability ensures that work can continue seamlessly when the primary user is unavailable, allowing the delegate to perform tasks just as the delegator would.

This hierarchical structure of roles and permissions is a key feature in Workday, facilitating effective management of security and workflow processes within an organization. It maintains continuity and efficiency, especially in complex HR functions that involve sensitive information and actions requiring specific authorizations.

When considering other options, it's important to note that delegates do not have security profiles only for certain tasks or only temporarily, as the delegation is typically intended to cover all applicable functionalities assigned to the delegator during the period of delegation. This design is to maximize readiness and operational continuity within the system.
