What is primary to determining user editing rights?

The determination of user editing rights in Workday Adaptive Planning is fundamentally based on permissions. Permissions define the specific actions that users can perform within the system, including whether they can view, edit, or delete figures and data. When setting up permissions, administrators can customize access based on roles, user groups, and other criteria, but the core factor that dictates what users are allowed to do is the permission settings assigned to them.

Access roles and user groups play important supporting roles in user management, as they help to organize users and map them to the appropriate permissions. However, permissions themselves are what directly regulate user activities regarding editing rights. Guidelines provide general frameworks and policies but do not influence individual user capabilities in the system. Therefore, permissions are essential and primary in defining how users can interact with the data and the extent of their editing rights.
