Visma Enterprise HRM (VEP) is a comprehensive solution for managing all aspects of human resources in large organizations. It integrates key HR functions such as employee administration, payroll, recruitment, and skills development. By automating processes, VEP reduces manual work and helps HR personnel make informed decisions.
For integration purposes, eADM write data back to VEP. For example, if eADM a new email account for an employee, it can update the work email address field in VEP. For more details on this functionality, refer tothe Visma User Administration documentation.
Pre-configuration
Before starting the integration, make sure the following requirements are met:
-
The web service module for AD integration via middleware must be installed in your Visma environment.
-
We strongly recommend that the Visma Organization module be installed as well.
-
Please provide us with the installation reports for the web service module.
-
You must provide the username and password for the API user.
Note: If the modules are already installed, the username is typically WS-AD.
These components can be ordered through your account manager at Visma Enterprise.
Configuration
We recommend setting up a routine in VEP to automatically assign a primary position to employees. This ensures that user data remains consistent.

Hard-code the date in the hierarchy data import from Visma Enterprise
By default, Identum eADM configured to import the organizational hierarchy from Visma Enterprise as it stands on the current date. This ensures that the system reflects the organization's real-time structure during every synchronization.
This behavior is controlled by the Base URL setting in the "Import hierarchy" synchronization step in eADM.
Default Configuration: Dynamic Date
To maintain real-time synchronization, the URL uses a dynamic placeholder [DATE]. When synchronization runs, eADM replaces this tag with the current date.
Standard URL Format:
https://<customer-domain>.enterprise.visma.no/hrm_ws/secure/organization/chart/[DATE]/1
Static Configuration: Freezing or Adjusting the Date
Administrators can modify the hierarchy import behavior by replacing the dynamic [DATE] a tag with a specific, hardcoded date, either in the past or in the future. This feature is useful in certain situations, such as:
-
"Freezing" the Hierarchy: Locking the eADM to a specific past date while the HR department performs restructuring or updates in Visma Enterprise.
-
Future/Past Views: Retrieving the organizational structure as it existed on a specific past date or as it is planned for a future date.
How to Configure a Static Date
-
Navigate to the " Import hierarchy synchronization" step in eADM.
-
Locate the " Base URL " attribute in Visma HI (or the equivalent "Base URL" field).
-
Replace
[DATE]with your desired date in the following formatYYYY-mm-DD.
Example: Freezing the hierarchy as of January 1, 2026
https://utfjord-kommune.enterprise.visma.no/hrm_ws/secure/organization/chart/2026-01-01/1
Note: When a static date is used, eADM continue to import the hierarchy exactly as it was on that specific date until the configuration is reverted to [DATE].
