Defense & national security use case · Workday + Okta + Microsoft 365
Secure collaboration onboarding
Collaboration spaces in controlled environments are opened manually and membership drifts from role. New staff receive only the identity groups and collaboration spaces their role allows, after approval.
Architecture
One governed run
How it starts: A webhook, schedule or HTTP poll of Workday starts the run.
Step by step
How the process runs
- 01
Context
The employee record is read from Workday.
- 02
Compartment policy
Rules + Code maps role to allowed groups and collaboration spaces.
- 03
Approval
Each compartment owner approves membership.
- 04
Identity
Okta groups and roles are assigned.
- 05
Collaboration
Teams membership and calendar invites follow.
Control
Human decision and exception path
Human decision
Each compartment owner approves membership. No group is assigned by default beyond baseline.
Exception path
- Policy conflicts stop the run.
- Okta errors are retried and surfaced.
- Removed roles trigger membership removal.
Evidence
What gets audited
- Employee context.
- Policy result.
- Owner approvals.
- Okta and Teams operations.
Nexus runs on premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. Credentials stay in the vault, roles decide who can approve, and the execution record stays inside your deployment boundary.

FAQ
Questions about this use case
- Does Nexus replace any of these systems?
- No. Each system keeps its own records. Nexus runs the process between them and records each decision.
- How does the run start?
- A webhook, schedule or HTTP poll of Workday starts the run.
- What if a step is not covered by a pre-built action?
- It runs through an API, protocol or database call, or as Rules + Code in Python, Bash, Go, Java, .NET, PHP, PowerShell or JavaScript/TypeScript, with the same approvals and audit.
