Is it true that membership in user-based security groups follows the user?

Membership in user-based security groups indeed follows the user in Workday. This means that when a user is assigned to a specific security group, the permissions and security configurations associated with that group are tied to that user profile. This membership ensures consistency in access control across different organizational components and functions within Workday, regardless of where the user is located or the specific job they are performing at any given time.

This design allows for streamlined security management because users retain their access levels even if they change roles within the organization. It simplifies the process of providing access, as administrators do not need to manually reassign permissions whenever a user changes positions or duties, thereby enhancing efficiency and reducing the likelihood of errors in managing security permissions.

If questioned under different contexts, such as organization-specific policies or a focus on specific group memberships, it remains grounded in the foundational principle that user-based groups provide a consistent and stable access framework that is user-centric.
