Overview
To authenticate BambooHR using an API Key, you will need to provide the following information:
Subdomain
API key
This guide will walk you through finding or creating those credentials within BambooHR.
Prerequisites
Please ensure you fulfill all the requirements to set up the integration:
You have Full-Admin access in your company's BambooHR instance, or someone has shared their access with you
OR
You have a Custom Access Level with sufficient access
If your use case is basic user provisioning, please see this article on enabling sufficient access
If your use case requires more data than basic user provisioning, here are some guidelines:
You should set your Access Level to view "All Employees", otherwise the data synced will be missing employee records
You should allow View Access to information you want to be synced
You should allow View Access to view your section to ensure your record is also synced
You can find your access level in BambooHR by going to Settings > Access Levels
