What task must be run after changing the membership in security groups?

After changing the membership in security groups, it is essential to activate pending security policy changes. This process ensures that any updates made to the group's memberships or permissions are formally applied and enforced within the system. Activating these changes triggers the system to recognize the new configuration, allowing users who are now included in the security group to access specific functionalities or data that they previously could not.

In Workday, security groups play a crucial role in defining access levels and permissions for users. Once modifications are made to these groups, the activation step is critical to implement the changes effectively. This helps maintain the integrity and security of the data by ensuring that user access aligns with the organizational policy.

While it may seem that no additional task is necessary after making changes, unless the activation is performed, the alterations will not take effect, potentially leading to unauthorized access or restricted users being unable to perform necessary tasks.
