ADP

The Corma and ADP integration turns ADP into the starting point of your identity lifecycle: when HR records a hire, a role change or a departure in ADP, Corma creates, adjusts or removes access in the other applications your people use. ADP describes itself as a global provider of cloud human capital management, serving more than one million clients across 140 countries with payroll, HR, time and benefits solutions.

Key takeaways

• ADP holds the most reliable record of who works for you, which makes it the natural trigger for joiner, mover and leaver automation.
• ADP also holds salaries, bank details and personal data, so access to ADP itself needs the same governance as any critical system.
• Corma covers both sides: HR-driven provisioning to every connected app, and control over who administers payroll in ADP.

Why connect ADP to your identity governance?

Most offboarding failures start with a delay between HR and IT. The contract ends in ADP on Friday, the ticket reaches IT on Tuesday, and in between the former employee still has working access to SaaS tools. Using ADP as the source of truth for the joiner-mover-leaver process closes that gap: the HR event becomes the trigger, not an email.

The second reason is ADP itself. Payroll practitioners and HR administrators can see pay, banking and identity data for the whole workforce. Under the GDPR, Article 32 requires measures that ensure the ongoing confidentiality of processing systems, which in practice means knowing who holds these rights and why. Payroll access granted for a year-end closing or an audit tends to stay long after the need is gone.

What the integration automates

• Day-one access: a hire in ADP starts automated provisioning and onboarding in the apps defined for that role.
• Internal moves: a change of department or job title updates access, so old permissions do not pile up.
• Departures: a termination in ADP revokes access everywhere Corma is connected, and frees licenses that can be reassigned.
• ADP admin rights under review: payroll and HR administrator accounts go into Corma's recurring access reviews.

HR keeps working in ADP, and IT no longer retypes what HR already knows. Each access change is linked to the HR event behind it, which makes onboarding and offboarding audits much faster to prepare. See how Corma supports HR teams with onboarding and offboarding.

Frequently asked questions

Does Corma also manage ADP Workforce Now?

Yes. For ADP Workforce Now, the ADP suite for companies from 50 employees, see the dedicated page on ADP Workforce Now access management.

How long does the connection take?

About a minute: an administrator authorizes Corma through a secure OAuth flow, without code. Full automation of joiner, mover and leaver events usually follows within a few days.

How is employee data protected?

Corma requests only the minimum ADP permissions, encrypts data in transit and at rest, hosts it in France on AWS and is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. Permissions can be revoked at any time.
