Connector
People data that stays governed.
HR data is the last thing you want copied around. Query Workday live and join headcount with plan and finance — with the source's permissions enforced on every request.
- Live at the source
- No replication
- Existing permissions
How Virtual Data Platform reaches Workday
Outbound only
A Gateway inside the source's network connects outbound to your tenant — no inbound firewall rules, TLS on every connection.
Queried at the source
The Gateway queries the source directly through its connector, under the requesting user's own permissions — Microsoft Entra ID in, translated to the source's authentication.
Nothing persisted
Results stream back end-to-end encrypted and combine with your other sources in memory — no warehouse to fill, no copy to govern.
What teams do with Workday
Headcount versus plan in one live view — the HR system joined with budget and actuals.
Org and people analytics without exporting sensitive records into a warehouse.
Every query runs under the requester's identity — sensitive fields stay need-to-know.
What this connector covers
