Delegates inherit the security profile of the delegator.

Delegates inherit the security profile of the delegator.

• A. False
• B. Sometimes
• C. True
• D. Only if granted permission

Answer: (C)

Delegation in Workday is designed so a delegate can act on behalf of the delegator within the scope of what the delegator can access. In practice, this means the delegate uses the delegator’s security permissions for the tasks included in the delegation, so their ability to perform actions mirrors the delegator’s rights for those tasks. It’s a temporary, task-limited elevation tied to the delegation period, not a permanent change to the delegate’s own security profile. This preserves accountability because activities performed by the delegate are done under the context of the delegator’s permissions for the delegated work. So, the idea that delegates inherit the security profile of the delegator is why this option is the best choice. The other ideas would either imply no inheritance, conditional or partial behavior that isn’t aligned with how delegation is intended to function.
