Narrative:
Operations vehicle called local control (training in progress) to request to go into the rsa to sweep up some glass from a broken light. He said he would be on the asphalt but clear of the runway by taxiway juliet. This was established between several transmissions. Operations confirmed more than once he would be clear of the runway. At no time did he mention or did we approve him to cross runway 8/26. Air carrier was informed of the men and vehicle on the west side of the runway. Operations then proceeded to cross the runway to the north side without permission. Before local could key up to tell air carrier to go around they were telling local they were going around on their own due to the vehicle. Operations then called local to try and confirm what he was approved to do. He was already across the runway and on the north side which is not by any taxiway like he originally stated. We could have been a little clearer on communications with the operations vehicle about what he wanted to do. Even then though; we cannot read his mind that he needed to cross the runway. So if he never would have mentioned this to us we wouldn't know.
