Logging out of Data as a Service (DaaS)

You can log out or exit from DaaS at any time. If you share your computer with other users, remember to log out when you finish using DaaS so other users can't see your information.

Note: If you have more than one DaaS user account, you must log out before you log in as a different user.

Results of logging out

  1. To log out, on the tool bar in the upper right corner of each page, click the Systems Detail icon ().
  2. Click Logout.

    DaaS closes, and depending on the product you used to log in to DaaS, one of the following pages appear:

    • Dayforce Tax Home page
    • Identity and Access Management (IAM) Login page
