titleWill we have the same access in Workday as we do have in Jenzabar/Powerfaids today?

The security in Workday is very different and comprehensive as the security in our legacy systems.  Migrating to a new student information systems gave us the opportunity to revamp access and verify all users have the appropriate permissions to do their daily work.  During the project we created groups and assigned security to many users but it is very likely we will need to modify these groups and create new ones.  If you or your department access needs to be revised, please open a support ticket in our Workday help desk or email us at Workday@lynn.edu.
