UKG Community Access FAQ

UKG Community Access FAQ for Support Administrators

The UKG Community provides UKG customers and partners access to peer discussions, product documentation, release updates, training materials, services and support, and the ability to share solution improvement ideas.

At UKG, we want to provide all users access to the resources they need to be successful with our products. Our legacy companies had different access strategies and we wanted to come together to offer options to provide users with the right level of access for their role.

What is a Support Administrator User and why am I assigned this role?
A Support Administrator User can manage permissions for other users at their organization, create and manage cases, and submit service requests. It's important for users to have the access they need to be successful with UKG solutions and we believe you are the right resource to decide that. You were selected based on your recent case activity in the UKG Community. If you do not feel you are the right person for this role, you can grant this permission set to the appropriate resource. It is recommended that each account have 2-3 Support Administrator Users to ensure proper coverage.
In addition, the Support Administrator User will receive all transactional communications – such as release upgrades and other critical company and product news – that are sent via email. As the primary contact for your organization, we want to ensure you never miss the critical information we need to send as your Partner for Life.
How do new users register for the UKG Community?
Users can access community.ukg.com and select the Register button to self-register. New users are assigned Self-Service User access by default and can request additional access when needed. The Support Administrator User approves or denies that request based on your organization's needs. For detailed instructions about requesting and managing access, refer to the Community Customer Self-Registration and Access job aid.
