CREATING YOUR API KEY

The following instructions explain how to create an API key from a Service Account (We recommend this method for user account security)

  • On the UKG Pro Service Account Administration Page (you can find this by navigating from the ‘System Configuration tab > Security > Service Account Administration), then click on "+ add" in the upper right hand side.

  • Enter in the admin of your UKG Pro account's username and email. You will need the username later.

  • Scroll down on the Web Service page to enable the following permissions:

    • Employee Person Details is required to authenticate the connection

    • Company Configuration Integration is suggested

    • Personnel Integration is suggested

    • Employee Job History Details is suggested

4. Click Save. Your new password will pop up. Save the password in a secure location.

5. Now, search for ‘Service Account Administration’ in your UKG Pro search bar on the top right.

6. Copy the Customer API Key from under the header.

7. Paste the Customer API Key in the Connection Modal.

  • Finally, click the ‘Submit’ button to establish an active UKG Pro connection with Drata and begin the automatic syncing of HRIS data to the user data already present.
