In Workday HCM, participation in business processes—such as Hire, Termination, or Job Change—is controlled by Business Process Security Policies, not by domain security. Business process security determines who can initiate, approve, review, or take action on specific steps within a business process definition.
To remove an HR Partner from participating in the Hire process, you must update the Business Process Security Policy associated with the Hire business process. This policy defines which security groups are authorized to perform specific actions (for example, initiate, approve, or complete steps) within that process. By removing the HR Partner role-based security group from the relevant steps or permissions in the Hire business process security policy, Workday will no longer route Hire-related tasks or approvals to HR Partners.
Option D, Domain Security Policy, is incorrect because domain security controls data access, such as viewing or editing worker or organization data, not participation in business process steps. Even if an HR Partner has domain access, they cannot participate in a business process unless explicitly granted permissions through business process security.
Option A, Maintain Assignable Roles, is used to determine which roles can be assigned to organizations, not to control business process participation. Option C, Maintain Functional Areas, is used for organizing security policies and reports, not for granting or removing process access.
From a Workday Pro HCM best-practice perspective, any change related to who participates in a business process must be made in the Business Process Security Policy. This ensures precise control, proper approval routing, and compliance with organizational governance.
Therefore, the correct and Workday-verified answer is Business Process Security Policy.
