What is the least restrictive level of information classification in Workday?

In Workday, the least restrictive level of information classification is designated as Public. This classification applies to information that can be freely shared with anyone without concerns about sensitivity or security implications. Public information is not subject to stringent access controls and can be disseminated broadly, making it suitable for sharing with external parties.

For organizations using Workday, understanding this classification is vital, as it sets the framework for how data should be handled and protected. By identifying certain information as Public, stakeholders can ensure that they are compliant with organizational policies regarding data sharing and avoid unnecessarily restricting access to information that does not pose any risk if made widely available.

In contrast, the other classifications—Restricted, Confidential, and Internal—impose varying levels of access controls and restrictions based on the sensitivity of the information. These classifications serve to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access or disclosure, thereby emphasizing the importance of recognizing the least restrictive category when handling information in Workday.
