Workday - What permissions do I need for HRIS data?

Not all the fields are needed for HRIS Integration

Please read before continuing: You must create your ISU in Workday before configuring permissions. If you haven't done that already.

Overview You will need to configure different permission domains in your Workday ISU for HRIS versus ATS data. This guide will walk you through the permissions you need for HRIS data.

Permissions

Please note that the permissions listed below are the required permissions for the full standard HRIS integration. Required permissions can differ based on the use case. If your use case does not require certain data (e.g., Employee's Dependent data or Timesheet Entries), you can exclude the permissions.
