HCM Anywhere

The HCM Anywhere role features provide access to Dayforce data and activities through common applications, such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power BI or through applications built to consume Dayforce web services (both SOAP and RESTful).

A user's role needs to be assigned these role features in order to consume Web Services from a consuming application, which is an application that uses Dayforce Web Services to update its own data, or the data in other client systems. A user would thus provide their Dayforce credentials to the consuming application, which would then be used to consume the web services.

The HCM Anywhere role feature also enables the following features:

• The ability to receive notifications from web services.
• The Web Services Field-Level Access tab of System Admin > Roles.
