NIM requires Tenant URL, Client Access Key, User Access Key, Username, and Password.

Create the service accountDirect link to Create the service account

  1. Sign in to UKG Pro with an administrator account.
  2. Open Service Account Administration and create a dedicated service account for NIM.
  3. Set a username and password for the account. Record both values securely; NIM does not require the account’s email address.
Use a dedicated account

Avoid using an individual administrator’s account. A dedicated service account makes access reviews, credential rotation, and troubleshooting more reliable.

Assign the following View permissions to the NIM service account. These are required permissions, not additional configuration steps.
