Case Study: Workday achieves unified, scalable contract access control with AuthZed Dedicated

Workday goes live in 5 months with AuthZed Dedicated

Workday, a provider of AI-native contract lifecycle management solutions, faced a significant challenge in managing permissions across its platform. They were using two separate, hardcoded authorization systems that were cumbersome to update, difficult to audit, and blocked feature development. To solve this, they turned to vendor AuthZed and its AuthZed Dedicated service to implement a centralized and scalable authorization solution.

AuthZed provided its SpiceDB-based AuthZed Dedicated service, a private SaaS that delivered a unified Relationship-based Access Control (ReBAC) model. This solution streamlined permissions management, allowing Workday to go into full production within five months. The results included a simplified process for shipping new features and a clear path to migrate all legacy systems, empowering developers who no longer had to build or maintain complex authorization code themselves.
