Friends and Family / Third Party Users
Workday allows students to designate other individuals to have access to all or some of their academic records. Students can use the Friends and Family task and select ‘is Third Party User” to opt in. Once the individual is designated, students must select which parts of their academic record they are granting permission to.
For Students: how to designate a third party
The Setting Up Third-Party Access video above shows the process of adding a third-party user and managing their permissions.
Students can designate contacts to have access to all or some of their academic record in Workday by utilizing the Friends and Family task and selecting the ‘is Third Party User’ box.
The Friends and Family task is part of both new and continuing student onboarding. You can also access this task at any time by navigating to the student profile, selecting the Contact menu, and then the Friends and Family tab.
When adding a contact via Friends and Family, check the ‘is Third Party User?‘ box, and then manage the permissions for that individual.
An email address for the third-party user is required. It will be used to provide your designees with their own Workday username and password. This process will allow them to log in independently and only see the information you have selected for them.
