If you run into any problems, please contact your support team or [support@claritysecurity.io](mailto:support@claritysecurity.io). --- ## **Configuring in your Downstream Application** ### **Step 1: Setting a Password Policy** Create a password policy specific to the Clarity integration. It is suggested to set no password expiration or password reset -- or you would need to update this password within Clarity every time it is changed in Ceridian. To set up the policy, go to **System Admin** > **Password Policy** and select the **Add** button. ### **Step 2: Name the Policy** Name the policy something easily identifiable and relatable to its use with Clarity. ### **Step 3: Create a Role** Create a role specific to this Clarity and Ceridian integration. Go to **System Admin** > **Roles SL** and select the **Add** button. Name the role something easily identifiable and relatable to its use with Clarity. Make sure to set the **Password Policy** to the policy you created for this integration in the previous step. ### **Step 4: Assign Features to your Role** Next, from the top of the **New Role** screen, select the **Features** tab. Check and expand **HCM Anywhere**, then check and expand **Web Services**, then check **Explorer**, **Patch/Post Employee HR Data**, and **Read Data**. ### **Step 5: Assign Web Services Field-Level Access to your Role** Next, from the top of the **New Role** screen, select the **Web Services Field-Level Access** tab at the top. Expand **SOAP Services**, then expand **GetEmployeeXRefCodesResponse**, and check **XRefCode**. ### **Step 6: Assign Employee Access to your Role** Expand **Employee**, and check all of the following fields, plus their subfields and any further nested fields. Fields with subfields are indicated with an asterisk (*). - CommonName - Contacts* - DisplayName - EmployeeManager* - EmployeeNumber - EmployeeOrgUnits* - EmployeeStatus* - EmploymentStatus* - EmploymentType* - FirstName - HomeOrganization* - LastName - XRefCode ### **Step 7: Set up the Integration User** Now that you have created and configured the role, you will need to create a service user for this integration. It is recommended that this user is the only user assigned to the Role created in the previous steps. In the **System Admin** > **User** area, at the top of the page, select **New** and fill in the **User Name** field with the name you choose for this user. We recommend something easily identifiable and relatable to this integration, like Clarity_SVC_USR. ### **Step 8: Assign Locations Access to your User** While still in the **New User** screen, go to the **Location Access** tab. Make sure to at least select the highest level **Location** for your organization. Optionally, you may select only those organizational location you wish to provide access to this integration. A drop down will list the available locations to choose from. If you do select more than one location option, be sure to check **Primary** for one of them. Click the **Save** button to complete the User setup. ### **Step 9: Find your Subdomain and Company Name** Your subdomain can be found by checking the URL you log in with. For example, https://**your-subdomain**.dayforcehcm.com/DataSvc/DayforceService.svc. If you are unsure of what the Company Name is in Ceridian, contact your App Owner. You will use these in Step 12. ## **Configuring the** **Integration** **within Clarity** ### **Step 10: Login to your Clarity Security tenant** > https://your-tenant.claritysecurity.io/ ### **Step 11: Click on Applications, then Marketplace** ![Applications > Marketplace](https://cdn.document360.io/2d020999-1823-4d4d-b6d2-4b52fb4a9617/Images/Documentation/image-1679588491503.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T07%3A56%3A35Z&se=2026-10-29T08%3A56%3A35Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MynyBGNQ0rMWo9SjsEQfeG1jPFWEP01Py40bcoQBr3c%3D) ### **Step 12: Find Ceridian Dayforce** Scroll to or search for Ceridian Dayforce in the list of applications from the marketplace, then click **Connect**. ### **Step 13: Connect App** Complete the **Connect App** form.
