How do I activate pending security policy changes in Workday?

Permissions aren't live until activated — here's the required step most setups miss.

Permission changes in Workday don't take effect until you activate them — this is a separate, required step after setting up permissions.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • Workday admins setting up or updating the Tilt integration.
  • You've made changes to Domain Security Policies or Business Process Security Policies (see the permissions articles).

Steps

  1. Type Activate Pending Security Policy Changes in the top search bar and select the task from the dropdown.
  2. Review the summary of changes that need approval and add comments if needed.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Check the Confirm box, then click OK again.

What if it doesn't work

  • If Tilt still can't access data after this step, double-check the summary of changes in step 2 actually included the policies you edited — if a change is missing from the summary, go back and confirm it saved correctly before activating.

Limits and exceptions

  • This step activates all pending security policy changes, not just the ones related to Tilt. Review the summary carefully if other admins have pending changes too.
  • Skipping this step is the most common reason newly-set permissions don't seem to work — permissions aren't live until activated.
