Why teams connect Auth0 and Workday

Keep the people who can act on financial records in Workday matched to their identities in Auth0, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.

Workday runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Auth0 is where those people and their access actually live: who is employed, what team they belong to, and what they are allowed to do. The two systems rarely share customers or transactions, but they share the one thing that governs both — the user. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a departed employee keeps finance access for weeks and a new hire waits on a ticket to get any.

Stacksync keeps Payroll Results, Suppliers, Customers and Invoices, Journal Entries in Workday aligned with Organizations, Organization Members, Connections, Clients (Applications) in Auth0, field by field and in real time. A person added, moved, or deactivated on the identity side updates their matching user in the finance system within seconds, with the role or permission set mapped from the group they belong to. Direction is yours to set: lead provisioning from the directory, or let an HR-owned finance record drive the downstream accounts.

For a finance team, that alignment is an audit control rather than a convenience. When the user list in the books matches the identity source of truth, segregation-of-duties and access reviews start from data that is already correct instead of an export that was current last quarter.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push completed payroll results into a finance system or data warehouse each pay cycle.
  • 02 Import journal entries from external billing or expense systems into Workday Financials.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users and Organization Members from an HRIS or CRM — create accounts and assign Roles on hire, delete on offboarding.
  • 04 Replicate Roles and Resource Server scopes into a database to audit which Users hold which permissions across every Application.

Common sync patterns

Where Auth0 is the identity source: offboarding reaches the books

When a person is deactivated in Auth0, their matching user in Workday is disabled in the same motion, so departed employees keep no standing access to financial records.

One user roster across both systems

People, their status, and their contact details stay matched between Workday and Auth0, so the finance system's login list reflects who actually works here instead of drifting out of date.

Group and role membership drives finance permissions

A person's group or role in Auth0 maps to their permission set in Workday, so who can approve, post, or view is governed from one place instead of maintained twice.

What you can sync between Auth0 and Workday

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Auth0 objects Workday objects How this pairing syncs
Organizations B2B customer tenants under /api/v2/organizations; synced two-way with a CRM or customer database to keep account records aligned with Auth0 orgs. Organizations Supervisory and company hierarchies read to drive routing and reporting in other systems. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. Custom fields on either side are included in the mapping.
Organization Members Membership records linking Users to Organizations with roles; written to provision and deprovision access as accounts change. Customers and Invoices Financials receivables objects synced for billing visibility where Workday Financials is used. Organization Members is specific to Auth0 and Customers and Invoices to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Journal Entries Accounting entries imported from external subledgers into Workday Financials. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Journal Entries to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clients (Applications) Registered applications and their metadata under /api/v2/clients; mirrored to a database for app and credential inventories. Custom Reports (RaaS) Tenant-defined reports exposed as web service endpoints, often the practical read surface for syncs. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Custom Reports (RaaS) to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Resource Servers (APIs) API definitions and their scopes; synced so permission catalogs used for access reviews stay current. Workers The central HCM record covering employment, job, and personal data; the anchor of most syncs. Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Workers to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Log Events Tenant events (logins, signups, failed logins, admin changes) from /api/v2/logs; read-only, streamed into a warehouse for security analytics. Positions Job seats synced with recruiting and planning tools. Log Events is specific to Auth0 and Positions to Workday — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and Workday

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

Auth0 Workday Sub-second propagation

DetectionAuth0 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Workday through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Workday Auth0 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Workday for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Auth0 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Auth0: Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling.

How the Auth0 and Workday connectors work

Auth0

Integration surface
Management API v2 (REST); Authentication API issues the access token
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials from a machine-to-machine application; scoped Bearer JWT where each operation needs its own scope (e.g. read:users, create:users, update:users) or returns 403
Change detection
Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge; polling falls back to the Get Users search filtered on updated_at
Capabilities

Rate limits
Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling

Workday

Integration surface
SOAP Workday Web Services (WWS), a REST API, and Reports-as-a-Service (RaaS) endpoints for custom reports
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 for the REST API; integration system users with WS-Security or certificate-based auth for SOAP
Change detection
Polling, including transaction-log criteria on SOAP operations to fetch objects changed since a given moment; no general webhook surface
