Access and Setup in UKG Pro

Note: Compose is only available for Beta testing. See Welcome to UKG Compose > Beta Disclosure for more information.

This page explains how users access UKG Compose from UKG Pro and what setup conditions must be in place before they can begin building workflows.

This page is focused on the Pro-first experience for:

A separate WFM standalone and FAPS access model should be documented later.

Access Compose from UKG Pro

For many users, the primary way to access Compose is from within UKG Pro:

Because Compose is embedded into the UKG Pro experience, users do not need to authenticate separately when launching it from an existing Pro session.

Users must have the correct HCM security rights to use Compose in UKG Pro.

This page should document:

Where Compose access is granted in HCM security
The difference between Viewer Access, Editor Access, and Full Access
Who typically receives each access level
Any admin-only rights needed for setup versus workflow authoring

Before a tenant can use Compose, there are two public-facing prerequisites that matter for this doc set.

For public documentation, the guidance should be simplified to:

This prerequisite matters only when customers want workflows to start from supported UKG Pro events (see Webhook Triggers).

For public documentation, the guidance should be:

If you plan to use the HCM Webhooks Trigger node, you must complete the UKG Webhooks prerequisite first
If you are only building scheduled, manual, form, or direct webhook workflows, this prerequisite does not apply

On first access, Compose may perform one-time setup behind the scenes so the tenant and user can use the workflow experience.

In some environments, users may also see a Setup Workflow step before the workflow service is ready.

We should not expose deeper internal provisioning details here.

This documentation set currently supports:

After access is confirmed and prerequisites are met:

Go to Get Started with UKG Compose in UKG Pro to build a first workflow
Go to Build Workflows in UKG Compose for workflow concepts, nodes, data, and expressions
Go to Security and Governance for security-review content
