Question

Hello community,I’m trying to get Workday plugins going and when choosing to install Workday Connector to be able to install them I have these two options:Which of these should I get installed for say “View Payslips” or “Submit/approve PTO Request”? Should I consider installing both?Appreciate the help-Rick

Security wise it would be about the same. It really just depends if you want a service account doing the actions or your users themselves. We have noticed, that a variety of clients prefer to use Auth Code setup, since it’s easier to handle permissions.

When you use user auth, then only whatever the user has access to is permitted. But if you use a service account, which usually has higher level of permissions, can bring the risk of having a user perform an action that they weren’t allowed to.

Hey ​@RickBabo- This is quite dependent on your workday APIs and how you want the updates to be handled.Do you want auth to be owned by a service account and actions being done through a service account →use the client credentials grant setupDo you want auth to be delegated to your users and actions be done in their behalf? →Set up with Auth code
