Can security policy permissions revert to a prior point in time?

Security policy permissions in Workday can indeed be reverted to a prior point in time, allowing administrators to restore previous security settings if needed. This capability is important for maintaining compliance and addressing situations where a change to permissions might lead to issues, mistakes, or security breaches. The ability to revert to an earlier configuration ensures that organizations can manage their security effectively and respond to changing requirements without permanent consequences from previous adjustments.

This functionality helps organizations maintain a robust security posture by enabling them to correct any misconfigurations and restore access controls that were once deemed appropriate. It provides a safety net, ensuring that any changes made to the security policies can be traced back to their previous state, and adjustments can be made progressively as needed.

Other options suggest limitations that do not exist with this feature. For example, implying that reversion is only allowed for past employees or requires admin approval overlooks the inherent capability of the system, which is designed to provide flexibility in managing security policies for all users.
