What are global accounts?

Global accounts refer to accounts that are designed to be accessible across all levels and versions within the Workday Adaptive Planning environment. This accessibility allows users to view and interact with the data contained in these accounts no matter where they are within the system, fostering a more integrated and seamless planning experience.

Having global accounts means that data can be shared and utilized uniformly throughout the organization, enhancing collaboration and consistency across various teams and departments. This characteristic of global accounts supports the flexibility needed for effective financial modeling and planning, ensuring that all users have access to the most relevant and up-to-date information regardless of the specific context or version they are working with.

In contrast, options that describe accounts with limited access, those that are specific to certain time periods, or those restricted to particular users do not align with the concept of global accounts, as these would inherently limit access and usability across the broader organizational context.
