Annual Workday Role Attestation Campaign Begins April 28

Attestation time!
Beginning April 28, UVA will undergo a verification period to ensure that all employees have the correct Workday access. It is best practice to perform regular attestation for any system of record in which employees access highly sensitive data, like Workday. Regular validation of user access also keeps UVA in compliance with University Policy SEC-037. As the University allows functionality to be distributed across Grounds, it is even more important to ensure that the correct people have appropriate access and can perform the proper functions to be good stewards of UVA's resources. 

This Workday Role Attestation campaign is sent out to managers of employees who have roles within the system, so those managers can review their employees' access and certify whether or not they need designated roles. 

In April, managers will receive clear instructions regarding attestation through the Identity and Access Management compliance tool, along with resources to guide them through the process. The campaign will begin on April 28, and managers will have ten business days from the start of the attestation campaign to complete and submit their review of employees' roles.

The attestation is a snapshot in time, so any changes after the launch of the campaign will not be included. It is important to note that failure to attest employees' roles could result in the loss of system access for those employees, so managers should stay on top of the campaign's timeline to ensure attestation goes smoothly for themselves and their teams!
