Concept: Discovery Board Security

Workday enforces security when someone views or edits a discovery board. To view a discovery board, you must have permission on at least 1 data source used in it.
Each viz in a discovery board uses a single data source. To see a viz when editing or viewing a discovery board, you must have permission on that data source. Workday enforces contextual security, which determines what data displays for each user.
How Workday displays the discovery board depends on your data source access and board permission:
Discovery Board Permission
Details
Can Edit
When you edit a discovery board, Workday:
  • Displays a placeholder for every viz, but only displays the data if you have permission on the data source.
  • Displays every sheet even if you don't have permission on any data source used in the sheet.
Can View
When you view a discovery board, Workday:
  • Hides a viz if you don't have permission on the data source.
  • Reorganizes the vizzes on a sheet if you don't have permission on 1 or more vizzes.
  • Hides a sheet if you don't have permission on at least 1 data source used in the sheet.
