Answer options
A: Open Dynamic Talent Pool
B: Restricted Dynamic Talent Pool Correct answer
C: Open Static Talent Pool
D: Restricted Static Talent Pool
Correct Answer:
B. Restricted Dynamic Talent Pool
Explanation

The scenario requires a talent pool that satisfies two specific conditions: automatic membership updates and restricted visibility for managers.
1. Automatic Updates: A 'Dynamic' talent pool is configured with rules and criteria that automatically add or remove workers as they meet or cease to meet those criteria. This fulfills the first requirement.
2. Restricted Visibility: A 'Restricted' talent pool limits a user's view to only those members who are within their security context. For a manager, this means they can only see members who are part of their supervisory organization. This fulfills the second requirement. Therefore, a Restricted Dynamic Talent Pool is the only option that meets both criteria.

Why Incorrect

A. An Open pool would allow managers to see all members in the pool, not just those within their own organization.
C. A Static pool requires manual management of members and does not update automatically based on criteria.
D. A Static pool does not meet the requirement for automatic updates based on criteria.

It specifies that 'Dynamic' pools use eligibility rules for automatic membership and 'Restricted' pools limit visibility based on the security of the person viewing the pool.

2. Workday Core Concepts Guide: The "Supervisory Organizations" section details the hierarchical security structure that underpins role-based access. It explains how a manager's security role grants them access only to workers within their management chain, a principle directly applied by 'Restricted' talent pools.
