In my previous roles with various orgs, my team (HRIS) have owned security administration with oversight by IT and Audit.

In my new role, security is owned by IT. We have run into issues in that they do not understand the function of HR so it makes it difficult for them to identify appropriate domains and questions to ask. It has caused a lot of frustration.

We are a company of less than 2500 employees.

Is this the norm that security is owned by IT? I have talked to other WD users where they are also use to security administration living within HRIS.

I plan to argue a case for transitioning the responsibility to HRIS.

For those of you that have security within HRIS or had to transition it to HRIS - what arguments could I make to support the change? What am I missing? I'd like to give real world examples but my mind is coming up blank at the moment. What real world issues have you come up against related to this?

I have:

1. Align ownership to business expertise - HRIS knows job context of HR jobs.
2. Role changes requires access to staffing transactions which may be confidential where HRIS has access to the data but not IT.
3. Separating security from HR configuration creates gaps and inconsistencies.
4. Reduces bottlenecks.
5. HRIS is positioned with job knowledge to link access decisions to business justification.
6. Workday is designed as a business configured system - not purely an IT managed platform. Aligning security with HRIS reflects Workday's intended operating model.
7. Enables a balanced operating model where HRIS is execution and IT is governance.

We would like to update our Entra/Azure integration to pull data stored on the worker profile as a custom object. We are using the Entra/Azure template app from the Microsoft gallery. Is it possible to pull a worker custom object (non-effective dated)?

Our IT team is asking for the xpath but from what I have read, the template has a limitation in that it does not pull custom objects even though it's tied to the worker.

Any solutions or potential paths I can go down as a workaround?

Is anyone using SMS messaging for communicating to candidates and employees? We have the SKU and are preparing for implementation. We need to decide if this is something we can implement ourselves or if it is best to engage a consultant.

From what I have gathered from reading on Community, the configuration is fairly straight-forward. My thought is we can manage implementation and testing within the HRIS team.

What I'm looking for is input from anyone who is using this and if I am correct that implementation is not difficult and should not require a consultant.

Currently, our People Systems team (HRIS) is responsible for creating/editing Peakon questions. The Talent team must email us any changes they need. I would like to transition this to the Talent team allowing the two Talent team managers the ability to create/edit questions as I would like to reduce administrative load on the People Systems team.

I want to keep in mind any best practices as well as any downstream impact I may not be aware of. Who in your org has access to create/edit questions? What do I need to consider as I determine if Talent should be able to manage this independent of People Systems?

We are in the final stages of getting our fiberglass pool installed. In fact, all that is left is going through the punch card and pool school. Today, the crew came out to clean up the yard and found a leak around the pool.

They suspected it was our sprinkler but we had the sprinklers turned completely off for since the start of the project. They have marked the water line and will check back tomorrow to see if the pool level dropped. I'm confident it is the pool because I had added water two days up to the half way point on the skimmer. Today the water is closer to the bottom edge of the skimmer.

Question is if the pool is leaking...what do they do to repair that? We were so excited to be close to getting in our pool and now there is potential for it to be a longer wait.

What questions do I need to ask or what do I need to be ready for if it is the pool leaking?
