Capabilities

Specifically, the connector syncs Clock Device Groups, Document Security Groups, and Pay Adjust Groups. The Dayforce connector supports automatic account provisioning by hiring a new employee, and grants and revokes security-role assignments on existing employees. This connector does not support account deprovisioning. Dayforce employee records are persistent, so C1 disables access by revoking role grants rather than deleting accounts.
Same-day role revokes take effect at end of day. Dayforce ends a role assignment at 23:59 of the day it was granted, so revoking a role on the same day it was granted leaves it active until midnight. The role appears as granted in C1 until the first sync after midnight. For immediate access cut-off, disable the user in the Dayforce IAM admin UI.

​
Gather Dayforce credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials for Dayforce. Gather these credentials before you move on. Here’s the set of credentials you’ll need when setting up the connector:
  • Username and password for your account or for a service account
  • Dayforce tenant URL
  • Dayforce client namespace

​
Permissions required for the Dayforce account

Set the following roles and permissions on the account or service account you use for the integration:
1
Navigate to System Admin > Roles.
2
On the Features tab, enable the Read Data subfeature under HCM Anywhere > Web Services.
3
On the Web Services Field-Level Access tab, enable XRefCode (and relevant child nodes for Employee) under RESTful Services > Human Resources > Employee.

On the Authorizations tab, set the following:
  • Can Read for Employee Status Information

Permissions for provisioning: To use account provisioning (hire new employees) and role provisioning (grant/revoke security roles), also enable:

Finally, set location access for the user:
