HyperSync Panel can automatically assign new hires to standard security groups using key employee attributes sourced from Workday. This automation enhances onboarding efficiency and strengthens access governance by ensuring individuals are placed in the correct group based on their role in the organization.
Attribute-Based Group Assignment
When a new employee record is created in Workday, Identity Panel—working in conjunction with HyperSync Panel—detects and processes attributes such as:
-
Job Title
-
Department
-
Location
-
Cost Center
These attributes are used to evaluate predefined rules, which determine appropriate security group memberships. The rules are implemented using Criteria Policies within Access Panel. These policies define inclusion criteria based on combinations of attribute values, allowing granular control over who gets access to what.
For example, an employee whose job title is “Finance Analyst,” located in “New York,” and assigned to the “Finance” department and “North America” cost center, might automatically be added to a group with permissions to access finance systems and reporting tools relevant to that region.
Automation and Business Impact
The entire process is managed by HyperSync Panel, the Suite’s high-performance synchronization engine. It continuously scans Workday for changes and propagates identity updates to connected systems. Once attributes meet the conditions defined in Access Panel, the new hire is automatically placed in the appropriate groups without manual intervention.
Key benefits include:
-
Faster onboarding: Employees receive access to needed resources on day one.
-
Reduced administrative burden: Eliminates manual group assignment by IT or HR.
-
Improved compliance: Access rules are centrally defined, traceable, and auditable.
This attribute-driven automation aligns IT operations with business policy, reduces risk of misaligned access, and ensures a smooth start for every new hire.
