Report as a Service (RaaS)

Create a Workday Report URL for Oort to integrate via Web Service

Overview

The Oort security platform can integrate with Workday Report as a Service (RaaS) functionality to ingest Workday HR data in an automated fashion.

Workday HR data provides a key element to managing identities and identity security in your organization, as the HRIS system is frequently the source of truth for both internal and third party B2B users.

This document will walk you through the process of setting up access to Workday and will also walk you through the setup inside of the Oort console.

Workday Report as a Service Configuration

NOTE - This article assumes some familiarity with Workday platform administration. The purpose of the document is to provide the report structure and parameters, as well as provide guidance in the Oort configuration.

The high level steps to complete this task in Workday are as follows:

1. Create a Workday Integration System User (ISU) (example documentation) - this user will act as the report owner and provide access to it from the Oort platform

2. Create the custom report as defined below

3. Enable the report as a web service in Advanced settings

4. Ensure that the ISU created in Step 1 is the owner of the report in the Share settings

5. Configure the Workday Report inside of the Oort console.

Create Workday ISU

To create the integration system user, follow the example documentation above or proceed as follows:

1. Go to your Workday tenant and enter create integration system user in the search field. Under Tasks & Reports, click Create Integration System User.

2. Enter a username and password for the new user.

3. Leave the Require New Password at Next Sign In option clear.

4. For Session Timeout Minutes, enter 0.

5. Select Do Not Allow UI Sessions to prevent this user from signing into Workday.

6. Click OK.

Ensure that the ISU created above is a member of the necessary security groups within Workday to be an owner of the report to be created in the next step.
