The ADP Workforce Now® Security Guide provides concepts and step-by-step
instructions for planning and implementing user access security for your company. This
guide contains detailed information about assigning employees to security groups,
creating custom security groups, setting user permissions (access to specific features in
ADP Workforce Now), and defining membership rules.
Types of Users
ADP Workforce Now has four default types of users:
• Employee - views and updates personal information
• Manager - supervises employee tasks and manages work events
• Practitioner - adds and modifies content related to HR and benefits, payroll, and
time and attendance data
• Portal Administrator - controls user privileges and the appearance of the ADP
Workforce Now Web site
The tasks these users can perform and the pages available to them depend on the ADP
modules purchased and the business decisions of the company.

ADP Workforce Now® provides powerful tools for securing user access to the workforce
management information at your organization. Providing thorough security around user
access requires a partnership between ADP, who offers expertise in workforce
management technologies and methodologies, and your staff, who understand how
people need to see and use information at your company. ADP collaborates with key
personnel in your organization – most notably, a trusted, high-access user called the
security master – to ensure a comprehensive and successful implementation of user
access security for your company.
This chapter provides concepts and instructions to support this collaborative process.
Your primary task in this chapter is to work with your ADP representative to gather the
information necessary so you can set up users and secure user access to ADP Workforce
Now.
This chapter covers the following concepts:
• The tasks commonly performed by the security master
• The security hierarchy in ADP Workforce Now
• The forms necessary to gather information and plan user access
• The process of planning user access for your company
Note: A Security Master Final Review will occur after you have set up user access for your
company. This is a check back to make sure that everything has been set up correctly.
Note: You must complete the security management setup and ADP Workforce Now
registration before you have access to the page where these resources are located. Your
ADP representative will help you to successfully complete these processes. You can also
refer to Chapters 2 and 3 of this guide for details.
Important: You do not need to provide digital certificates to all users of ADP Workforce
Now. In fact, most users – the self service users – can register with ADP Workforce Now
to get a username and password without getting a digital certificate. Self service users
typically can view only their own information. ADP Workforce Now managers (also self
service users) can access information about the employees who report to them. However,
they do not have security privileges and are not able to change the way other users
access ADP Workforce Now.
• You assign the digital certificate users set up in the security management service to
one of the default security access groups (portal administrators and practitioners).
Users can be assigned to both groups if they should have full access. These groups
control which content these users can view and what tasks they can perform in ADP
Workforce Now.
• Both the ADP Workforce Now Web site and the HR & Benefits module are impacted
at this stage. You will make very specific decisions about the content employees can
see and use in ADP Workforce Now and, if your company is using it, the HR &
Benefits module.
• Portal administrators gain access to the Security Access menu, where they can
control the content other users can see and use.
Important: You do not have to identify every access restriction on the Security
Template. The purpose of filling in the template with these restrictions is to work with
your ADP representative to develop a methodology that you can then implement
consistently in ADP Workforce Now and the modules.
The Security Template includes columns that begin with high-level user information in
left-most columns and work toward more detailed user restrictions as you progress to
the right. During the discussions in the Security Master Setup call, your ADP
representative might modify the columns in this form to meet your needs. However, this
basic methodology - working from general to more specific - should continue to be the
case.
Tip: The Security Template provides sample scenarios to help you understand how to
plan for and assign access to the different users in your company.
Column Descriptions
The following table describes the columns on the Security Template.
Column Description
User’s Name & Job Title Enter the user’s name and job title.
Note: You only need to list users who require a digital certificate.
Security Role Select the ADP security management role that should be assigned to the
user:
• Security Master*
• Security Administrator
• User Master
• User Administrator
• Product User
*You can assign the security master role to a backup security master. This
person can perform tasks during the absence of the security master.
ADP Workforce Now Based on the ADP Workforce Now modules your company is using, select
Modules which module(s) should be assigned to the user’s security management
profile:
• All modules
• Payroll
• HR & Benefits
• Time & Attendance
• Payroll and HR & Benefits
• Payroll and Time & Attendance
• HR & Benefits and Time & Attendance
These modules are assigned to the user’s security management profile.
ADP Workforce Now Secu- Select the default security group(s) to which the user belongs:
rity Group • Portal Administrator
• Practitioner
• Both
The Portal Administrator and Practitioner groups require digital certifi-
cates, so it is important to identify any users who belong to these groups.
Access Level Select whether the user has full or partial access to ADP modules or
module features (that is, entire modules or restricted access within the
modules). If the user has full access, you don’t need to fill out additional
columns.
The next several columns help you to define the type of content a user with
partial access can or cannot see and use.
Company Code, Business Some users have access restrictions based on the organizational unit where
Unit, or Department they work – for example, a company code, business unit, or department.
Restrictions State that the user has full access if the user does not have any access
restrictions. If the user has partial restrictions, briefly state what those
restrictions are.
Benefit Restrictions Indicate whether the user can see and/or change employee benefits.
For example, some organizations have a benefits administrator who is
responsible for overseeing benefits. In this case, the benefits administrator
would be able to see and change benefits content, but other administrators,
such as the payroll administrator, would not have access to this informa-
tion.
Pay Rate Restrictions Indicate whether the user can see and/or change pay rates.
Some users should not see pay rates. For example, you might set up a
payroll administrator to see the hours employees work, but you don’t want
that person to see the rate of pay for other employees.
Additional Restrictions This is a free-form column in which you can place any notes about user
access that you think are important to consider.
Important: It is critical that you assign users to the appropriate ADP security role.
Assigning a user to the wrong role can mean that person has access to sensitive
information that he or she should not see. This is a significant security risk.
Role Description
Security Master A security master is a highly trusted user who has complete access to
all the ADP services your company uses. This user can create new secu-
rity administrators, perform all the tasks of the security administrator,
and maintain users in other security roles.
The security master should already be identified. You are only logging
this role on this template in case you need to make notes concerning this
person’s access (in the Additional Restrictions column).
Security Administrator A security administrator is a highly trusted user who has complete
access to all the ADP services your company uses. This user can create
new product users and assign the security management roles of user
master, user administrator, or product user to users. He or she can create
self-service users who require early access to your ADP services (if
available to your company). This user can reset passwords,
issue/reissue digital certificates, and issue/reissue personal identifica-
tion codes (if available to your company). This user can also use secu-
rity management service to manage access to ADP services for user
masters, user administrators, product users, and self-service users.
User Master A user master can assign the user administrator role to product users or
self-service users and perform all user administrator tasks. This user
can also issue/reissue personal identification codes (if available to your
company), modify self-service users’ information, and approve or deny
self-service users registering before their information is available to
ADP (if available to your company).
User Administrator A user administrator can perform security tasks such as resetting pass-
words and reissuing digital certificates. This user can also suspend or
activate self-service users.
Product User A product user can access specific ADP modules. This user cannot
perform administrative security tasks such as resetting passwords and
reissuing digital certificates in the ADP security management service.
Important: For all users who have full access, such as the security master, the Security
Template is now complete.
Note: Chapter 3, “Setting User Access in ADP Workforce Now” on page 57, states that
ADP Workforce Now actually has four (not two) core default security groups. However,
only portal administrators and practitioners require digital certificates, so you only need
to identify these two groups on the Security Template. Therefore, only these groups are
discussed here.
Administrator Users are automatically assigned the Portal Administrator role when you
(Portal Administrator) set them up with the ADP Workforce Now profile in
security management service.
The portal administrator requires a digital certificate and controls user
access privileges and the appearance of the ADP Workforce Now Web
site.
Practitioner Users are automatically assigned the Practitioner role when you set them
up with the ADP Workforce Now profile in security management service.
Practitioner users require digital certificates and can access the services to
which they have been assigned from those being used by their company.
For example, a practitioner might only be assigned to the HR & Benefits
module, even though the company is using all ADP modules.
Planning User Access Restrictions for the ADP Workforce Now Web
Site and Modules
The next planning task is to determine the restrictions on seeing and using content for
each user. These restrictions affect the ADP Workforce Now Web site and HR & Benefits,
Payroll, and Time & Attendance modules.
To determine what restrictions are important:
• Brainstorm with your ADP representative about the types of user information you can
restrict. You might find it helpful to see a demo of the areas of ADP Workforce Now
where you will set up user access. You can also review the sample scenarios provided
in the Security Template.
• Meet with key staff in your company (such as the security administrators, user
masters, user administrators, and product users you have identified on the Security
Template) to determine what kinds of access restrictions they believe are important
for the jobs they, and the people who might report to them, perform.
Important: You do not have to identify every restriction on the Security Template. The
purpose of filling in the template with these restrictions is to work with your ADP
representative to develop a methodology that you can then implement consistently in
ADP Workforce Now.
For details on these steps, refer to the chapter that describes the module (Chapters 4
through 6).
Note: Only portal administrators and practitioners need to fill out this form, since they
are the only users who require digital certificates.
2 Gather all completed ADP Internet Product Security Registration forms from the staff
members. Verify that all information has been filled out completely, including selecting
the security question and answer at the bottom of the form.
3 Inform the staff members that they should expect a confirmation e-mail from ADP.
Staff members must follow the process in that e-mail to download the digital
certificate. If staff members do not receive the e-mail within a reasonable amount of
time, they should contact you so you can reissue the certificate or follow up with ADP.
You have completed initial planning with your ADP representative and understand how
you want to secure user access at your company. The process of securing user access
begins with the ADP security management service, which controls user access to all ADP
Internet services and ensures that unauthorized users are not able to access sensitive
data. As the security master, you can use the ADP security management service to set
up the security administrators, user masters, user administrators, and product users at
your company who should be able to access ADP Workforce Now®.
This chapter provides details on how to do the following:
• Complete the setup process for the security master (which should already be
underway)
• Set up security administrators, user masters, user administrators, and product users
• Assign users to a product profile
• Maintain user profiles, such as updating personal information, resetting passwords,
and reissuing digital certificates
Tip: Details on all of these tasks, along with answers to frequently asked questions, are
provided in ADP's security management service online help PDF.
After setting up all users in the ADP security management service, refer to Chapters 3-6
to complete user access for the ADP Workforce Now modules and features.
Note: If you have identified a backup security master, that person should also complete
this process.
Note: Be sure to download the digital certificate on the computer from which you plan
to access the security management service and ADP Workforce Now. The digital
certificate permits access only on the computer where it is installed. The certificate is valid
for two years. 60 days before the expiration date, you will receive an e-mail notification
with instructions for renewing the certificate.
On the computer you will use to perform administrative tasks, follow these steps:
1 Open your browser, and then open the system-generated confirmation e-mail.
2 Copy the URL from the e-mail, paste it into the browser address field, and then click
Go.
3 On the Register for ADP Services page, copy the user ID and access code from the
confirmation e-mail and paste them in the appropriate fields.
Important: Make sure you don't copy extra spaces before or after the access code.
If you have already registered and have an ADP services user ID and password,
proceed to step 6.
5 Create and confirm the password for your account. Passwords must conform to the
following rules:
• Your password must be at least eight characters long and must contain at least one
letter and one number.
• Your password is case-sensitive.
• Your password can include special characters (-! @ # $) and spaces.
• Your password cannot repeat any character more than four times. For example,
AAAAAA11 is not permitted.
• You cannot reuse your last four passwords.
Note: For added security, your password expires every six months. Before your
password is about to expire, you will be prompted to select a new password when you
log in to your ADP service. Your new password is effective immediately.
6 Click Submit to complete the registration process and start to download the digital
certificate.

Security Access menu is now available.
6 Select Security Access > Security Management User Administration.
Once you have logged on to the ADP security management service, you can set up
additional users - such as security administrators and user masters (who can assist you
with setting up other users) and product users (who are the daily users of the ADP
Workforce Now services).
Note: You do not need to provide digital certificates to all users of ADP Workforce Now.
In fact, most users – the self service users – can register with ADP Workforce Now to get
a username and password but don’t require a digital certificate. self service users typically
can only view their own information. ADP Workforce Now managers (also self service
users) can access information about the employees who report to them. However, they
do not have security privileges and are not able to change the way other users access
ADP Workforce Now.
You can add new security administrators, user masters, user administrators, product
users, and Self Service users (if available to your company). Your security masters and
security administrators can add other users for your company. This task does not apply
to user masters, user administrators, product users, and self service users.
The following table lists the user roles that are authorized to add other users:
Go to People > Access & Security > Manage Users & Profiles.
1 Click on the Add New (+) icon.
Add User
3 Enter personal information about the user. Make sure the e-mail address is valid and
frequently checked by the user. The ADP security management service sends a
system-generated confirmation e-mail to this address. This e-mail provides the user
ID, access code, URL, and instructions needed to download the digital certificate, so
it is important that it is sent to the correct e-mail address.
Important: ADP validates the information that your registering employee enters
against what you, their employer, entered in the Payroll, HR, Time and Attendance, or
other ADP application you use. If the information matches, the user is given access to all
of your ADP services at once. If the information does not match, the user might not be
able to register or may not have complete access to your ADP services.
4 Click Continue.
User will be included in... Add a user whose information is included in the
information your company sends to ADP.
Note: If ADP cannot verify this user’s

Next Steps
Your next task is to assign a product profile to the user to identify which areas of ADP
Workforce Now the user can access. Your ADP representative has created a default
profile for each service your company uses. The profile consists of a service, a role, and
associated authorization codes (company codes). This profile allows you to control
access to each of the ADP services your company is using. Refer to these chapters to
assign profiles for the ADP Workforce Now modules:
HR & Benefits Chapter 4, “Setting User Access for HR & Benefits” on page 97
Time & Attendance Chapter 6, “Setting User Access for Time & Attendance” on page 123
Note: Before deciding on the product profile for the user, review the default profiles set
up by your ADP representative. Each user must be assigned at least one product profile.
To get started, log in to your ADP service, navigate to the page where you are looking
for information, and click the Help icon.
Note: If your company does not have a security master and needs to establish security
administrators, contact your ADP representative.

As a security master, you were also set up as a portal administrator during the initial
planning phase. Portal administrators are responsible for managing security access in
ADP Workforce Now® for the modules your company is using.
After setting up users in the ADP security management service, your next task is to
define which aspects of ADP Workforce Now each user should be permitted to see and
use. Specifically, you will perform these tasks:
• Set up security groups to control user access in groups rather than one person at a
time
• Create membership rules to further refine security group access
When you complete these tasks, you will have set up user access for this module and
features:
• HR & Benefits module
• ADP Workforce Now features that affect all users, such as access to content on the
company website
Note: You must complete the security management process, including assigning the ADP
Workforce Now profile to the user, before you can complete the procedures described in
this chapter.
Important: During the planning phase, your ADP representative set up the security
master and backup security master as a portal administrator. If you are an ADP security
master and are unable to perform the procedures in this chapter, check with your ADP
representative to make sure you have been assigned the correct security level.
Note: Pop-up blockers may interfere with the display of valid pop-up screens
(confirmations, forms, reports). ADP recommends that you disable pop-up blockers or set
up your pop-up blocker to allow pop-ups for this site.
1 Go to: https://portal.adp.com
3 In the Choose a digital certificate window, select the certificate that was issued to you
for your access to ADP Workforce Now, and click OK.
4 In the Connect window, enter your user ID and password, and then click OK.
5 In ADP Workforce Now, point to the Role Selector and select Portal Administrator.
Notice that the menus change when you access the Portal Administrator role. The
Security Access menu is now available.
Note: You can view security groups that are set up for you and change certain
information, such as the description, members, and permissions. You cannot delete a
default security group, even if you are a security master, security administrator, or portal
administrator.
Manager Users are automatically assigned the Manager role when you
designate them as managers in one of the modules (Payroll, HR & Benefits,
or Time & Attendance). This designation places the user in the Manager
default security group as well.
Managers supervise employee tasks and oversee work events.
Employee All users are automatically assigned the Employee role. You can give
employees additional access by assigning them to other security groups.
Employees can view and update personal information.
If needed, you can set up custom security groups for these users to further manage what
the users can see on the site. For example, you may want certain users to view only the
menu options they can access. For information on setting up custom security groups,
refer to “Adding a Custom Security Group” on page 70.
Payroll and HR This group contains users who are listed as employees in the Payroll and
Employees HR & Benefits modules.
Payroll and HR This group contains users who are listed as managers in the Payroll and HR
Managers & Benefits modules.
Time and Attendance This group contains users who are listed as employees in the Time & Atten-
Employees dance module.
Time and Attendance This group contains users who are listed as supervisors in the Time &
Supervisors Attendance module.
For example, Michael Jones is an employee whose company is using the Payroll, HR &
Benefits, and Time & Attendance modules. Michael has been automatically added to the
Payroll and HR Employees group. He has also been automatically added to the Time and
Attendance Employees group.
When Michael points to the Time & Attendance menu in ADP Workforce Now, he sees
all the menu options he is supposed to. He can submit a timecard, enter time off, and
review his accruals.
Important: When users are moved into automatically created custom security groups
of the same employee type as their default security group, they remain in the default
group, but as inactive members, with their name and information grayed out. To make
these users active in the default group, you need to remove them from the corresponding
custom groups. (See “Adding or Removing Members from a Security Group” on page 79.
Membership Rules
Each automatically created membership rule has the same name as its associated
custom security group. For example, the membership rule name for the Payroll and HR
Employees group is Payroll and HR Employees.
Important: If you set up a custom security group for terminated employees, you must
add an active status to the membership rule for each automatically created custom
security group of the employee type. This makes terminated employees inactive in their
automatically created custom employee group(s), so the employees do not view content
they should not see. For more information, refer to “Changing a Rule for an Automatically
Created Custom Security Group” on page 92.
Permissions
Because permissions for automatically created custom security groups are already set
up, you do not need to make any manual changes to them.
The following sample screen shots show the permissions that are automatically set up
for each of these groups.
Note: These sample screen shots show selections for users whose company is using the
Payroll, HR & Benefits, and Time & Attendance modules. Your screens may look slightly
different depending on your company setup.
Note: If your company is using the HR & Benefits module, you will see permissions
selected under Employee Time and Attendance Tab for features that are provided by
the HR & Benefits module, as shown above.
Note: Other features under Message Center at a Glance and Manager Reports Tab
are selected. The features you see are based on the modules your company is using.
Note: If your company is using the HR & Benefits module, you will see features
unchecked under Employee Time and Attendance Tab for features that are provided
by the HR & Benefits module, as shown above.
Note: The features you see are based on the modules your company is using.
User Assignments
The following table shows how Payroll, HR & Benefits, and Time & Attendance users are
assigned to the automatically created custom security groups.
The Security Group page lists all security groups that are currently defined.
2 Click the name of the security group you want to see.
3 On the Rules tab, view the membership rules for the security group.
In the following example, the Rules tab shows that members of the default adminis-
trator security group are also assigned to the default employee and default manager
security groups.
4 For a list of users who belong to a security group, select the Members tab. If the
check box next to the employee’s name is selected, the user is already a member of
this group.
Important: The names and information of users in the default employee group
and/or default manager group are grayed out if they are members of custom groups
of the same type (employee or manager).
5 To see the access rights that users have, select the Permissions tab. If the check
box next to the feature is selected, the security group has permission for this feature.
Note: Individual users have permissions from all the groups to which they belong. To
view the entire list of permissions for an individual user, see “Viewing User
Permissions and Security Group Assignments” on page 83.
If needed, you can change a security group that has been set up for you, such as the
corresponding description, members, and permissions. What you can change depends
on whether the group is a default security group or a custom security group. For further
instructions, refer to “Changing a Security Group” on page 77.
Important: The permissions you assign to a security group are accessible to all users in
that group. As a result, it is important to make sure you (1) set up the group with the
appropriate permissions and (2) add the appropriate users to the group.
3 In the Group Name and Group Description fields, type information to help you
identify members that belong to this group.
Be sure the name and description differentiate this group from other security groups.
The name and description should be clearly understood by you and other administra-
tive users in your company.
4 Select a Group Type. Group type determines the members of a security group and
the features and permissions that can be assigned to it. For example, if you select
employee in the Group Type field, membership will be restricted to employees and
permissions will be restricted to employee features.
Employees can belong to multiple group types. For example, Anthony Albright can be
a member of an administrator group type and an employee group type. If the two
groups have different permissions, Anthony will have access to all the features of both
groups.
Employees can also belong to multiple custom groups of the same type. For example,
John Smith can be a member of the New Jersey Employees group and also part of the
HR Employees group. If the two groups have different permissions, John Smith will
have access to all the features of both groups.
5 Select a Group Status. You can deactivate a group if you want to temporarily remove
it from use. Group status determines whether or not a group is currently used. For
example, you may want to create a group for seasonal employees. Group status
enables you to switch the group from active to inactive depending on when these
seasonal employees start and stop working.
6 Click Save Group. If you selected an active group status, users logging on are
immediately impacted. The users already logged on are impacted at their next logon.
7 To further define the security group, select the Rules tab. You can either click a check
box to select an existing rule, or click Add Rule to create a new rule. For detailed
instructions on adding a rule, refer to “Adding a Membership Rule” on page 86.
Note: If you don’t see the Rules tab, speak with your ADP representative.

You can manage practitioner permissions for the Payroll module under Payroll
Practitioner Tab.
You can manage practitioner permissions for the Time & Attendance module under
Practitioner Time and Attendance Tab.
You can manage practitioner permissions for the HR & Benefits module under HR and
Benefits Tab.
Important: You must name these custom security groups correctly and assign
permissions carefully. For details, refer to Chapter 7, “Setting Up Custom Security Groups
for New Hire Checklists” on page 157.
Tip: If your company uses membership rules, you can place your cursor over any
custom security group to identify rules assigned to it.
4 If needed, change information in the Group Status field. This option is only available
for custom groups.
Important: When you change a group status to active, users in that group who are
logging on are immediately impacted. Users in that group who are already logged on
are impacted at their next logon.
5 If needed, add or remove membership rules. This option is only available for custom
groups.
• For existing rules, either click to select or click to clear the appropriate check box.
• To add a new membership rule, click Add Rule.
For detailed instructions, refer to “Managing Membership Rules” on page 86.
6 If needed, add or remove members. Instructions for this task follow in this section of
the chapter.
7 If needed, change the permissions for your group. Instructions for this task follow in
this section of the chapter.
8 When you are finished making the changes to your security group, scroll to the bottom
of the page and click Save Group.
Important: The permissions you assign to a security group are accessible to all users in
that group. As a result, it is important to make sure you (1) set up the group with the
appropriate permissions and (2) add the appropriate users to the group.
2 Select the group name to which you want to add or remove a member.
Note: If your company does not use the Membership Rules feature, you are
automatically on the Members tab when you select the group name.
• For an existing member, enter member information (such as last name) and click
Find.
• For a new member, click Add Members. Click to select or clear the check box next
to the member's name.
Note: If you removed a member who was generated by a rule, that user remains in
the member's list with the name and information grayed out and the check box not
selected. If you want to make the user active in the group again, click to select the
check box next to the user’s name.
Important: When users are moved into custom groups of the same employee type
as their default security group, they remain in the default group, but as inactive
members, with their name and information grayed out. To make these users active in
the default group, you need to remove them from the corresponding custom groups.
After you do this, the users are automatically made active in the default group.
For example, Johnny Mathis is a member of a custom practitioner group that has

Setting Up Custom Security Groups for
New Hire Checklists
The ADP Workforce Now™ New Hire feature allows portal administrators to create
custom checklists to track new hire tasks, such as ordering a computer. Checklists are
organized by the employees who will complete the tasks. For example, a checklist can
be sent to a technical support employee who sets up phone service and an Internet
connection. A checklist can also be sent to a manager who provides training manuals to
a new hire and reviews corporate policy guidelines with this person.
In order to access checklists and complete assigned tasks, employees must be assigned
to the Employee Checklists custom security group. Managers must be assigned to the
Manager Checklists custom security group. These groups need to be set up.
As a security master, you were also set up as a portal administrator during the initial
planning phase. Portal administrators are responsible for setting up security groups to
control user access to features in ADP Workforce Now.
Important: The Employee Checklists and Manager Checklists custom security groups
must be created using these exact names. Permissions for each group must be assigned
carefully to ensure that members of these groups see only what they are supposed to.
Employee Checklists
group
Manager Checklists
group
Note: Detailed instructions on setting up custom security groups are provided in Chapter
3: “Setting User Access in ADP Workforce Now” on page 57.
Important: Make sure that members whom you add to the Employee Checklists and
Manager Checklists custom security groups keep the same permissions that were
assigned to them in other security groups to which they belong. You do not want to
expose the users to content they should not see. You do not want to remove existing
permissions, either.
For example, some members that you assign to the Manager Checklists custom security
group were active users in the default manager security group. Other members belong
to more than one custom manager security group. Because these members belong to
different security groups, they have access to different areas in ADP Workforce Now.
You do not want to change these individual rights.
On the Permissions tab, only select the two Administrative Activities options.
Click to select
Administrative Activities
under Message Center at a
Glance.
Click to select
Administrative Activities
under Message Center.
Note: Detailed instructions on setting up custom security groups are provided in Chapter
3: “Setting User Access in ADP Workforce Now” on page 57.
When adding or changing a membership rule, you will need to select the correct
membership rule attributes and enter the correct values on the Membership Rules page.
The following tables provide information for selecting membership rule attributes and
values based on fields and values in your ADP Workforce Now® modules.
The attributes and values you select when adding or changing membership rules depend
on the combination of modules your company is using. Tables 1, 2, and 3 provide
membership rule attributes and values, and the corresponding system of record fields
and values, for each module.
To find attributes and values, locate the combination of modules your company is using
below. Reference the tables listed for your module combination to determine the
membership rule attributes and values you should use.
