To use Workday Adaptive Planning OfficeConnect — the Microsoft Office integration that allows users to embed live Adaptive Planning data in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint — users require two specific permissions in their permission set: 'Access Reports' and 'Access OfficeConnect.' Access Reports enables the user to retrieve report data from the Adaptive Planning model, which is the data source for all OfficeConnect content. Access OfficeConnect enables the user to authenticate and use the OfficeConnect add-in to connect their Office application to the Adaptive Planning instance. Without Access Reports, the user cannot pull model data for use in OfficeConnect documents. Without Access OfficeConnect, the integration itself is blocked. Import capabilities and Download to Excel are data management permissions unrelated to OfficeConnect functionality. Upload Files and Admin Access are administrative permissions outside the scope of OfficeConnect. Modify All Reports and Access Dashboards pertain to report administration and dashboard viewing, not OfficeConnect access. The combination of Access Reports and Access OfficeConnect is the definitive permission requirement.
