# UKG Pro (SOAP)
UKG Pro (opens new window) is a Human Capital Management (HCM) tool that helps enterprises manage the entire employee life cycle. This connector allows you to automate the recruitment, employee onboarding, and employee offboarding processes.
The UKG Pro SOAP connector allows you to add or update data in UltiPro. Use the UKG Pro connector to retrieve data.
# Prerequisites
Workato recommends using an Integration System User (ISU), such as a dedicated service account, for integration with Workato. This ensures that permissions are consistent and all operations are logged on a single account.
Ensure you have an active UKG Pro account with the View and Personal Integration permissions at a minimum. If permissions are not configured correctly, actions may not work as intended, even if the connection is successful.
To use employee objects, Workato recommends enabling the following view, add, and edit permissions:
- Personnel Integration
- Employee global new hire
- Employee new hire
- Employee contacts
- Employee job
- Employee compensation
- Employee employment information
- Employee person
- Employee address
- Employee phone information
- Employee User Defined Fields
- Employee Termination
Refer to the UKG Pro service account documentation (opens new window) for more information about creating a UKG Pro (SOAP) service account and configuring permissions.
