[Security and Governance in Prism] You want to configure access to a published Prism data source to use it in reporting and discovery boards. What action must you take?

In Workday, access to all data sources, including those published from Prism Analytics, is governed by the domain security framework. To make a published Prism data source available for use in reporting tools like Report Writer or discovery boards, an administrator must explicitly assign it to a securable domain. Security groups (e.g., Role-Based or User-Based) are then granted permissions to access that domain. This action directly controls which users can see and build content from the data source, ensuring proper data governance and access control.

B. Share the dataset with appropriate users. Sharing a dataset in Prism is for collaboration among data analysts to edit the data preparation logic, not for granting end-user access to the published data source for reporting.
C. Share the imported Workday report to provide users with access to the published Prism data source. The published Prism data source is a distinct object from its original source (e.g., a Workday report). Securing the original source does not confer security permissions to the new Prism object.
D. Schedule the recurring publish process. Scheduling a publish process is an operational step to make data available and keep it refreshed. It does not configure the security permissions that determine who can access the data.

Section: "Securing Prism Data Sources"

Content: This official guide explicitly states, "After you publish a dataset, the resulting data source is an unsecured object. To enable users to access the data source for reporting and analytics, you must edit the data source's security and add it to a securable domain. You can then configure the domain's security policy to grant access to the appropriate security groups." This directly validates that editing the data source security to select a domain is the required action.

Section: "Domain Security for Custom and Prism Data Sources"

Content: The documentation details that all reportable data sources must belong to a domain to be accessible. It outlines the process: "For any new data source, including those generated by Prism Analytics, navigate to the 'View Data Source' task, select the 'Security' action, and assign the data source to a relevant domain, such as 'Prism Analytics Data Sources'. Without this assignment, the data source remains invisible to all users for reporting purposes."
