How to get your HiBob Service User ID and Service User Token: Step-by-step guide
Blog post from Unified.to
To integrate with HiBob, obtaining a Service User ID and Service User Token is crucial for authenticating API requests, which can be generated from HiBob's account settings. The process involves creating a service user, forming a permission group tailored to the specific API operations needed, and setting the necessary permissions. Service users by default have no access permissions, requiring the creation of a dedicated permission group with only the necessary permissions for the intended API operations. Permissions can be categorized into access to features, people's data, and access rights to manage employee data, with varying levels of view, edit, and history access depending on the requirements. Additionally, for broader integration capabilities across multiple vendors, Unified.to offers a solution that simplifies this process by providing unified objects that work across numerous APIs, reducing the complexity and maintenance of vendor-specific auth flows and schema differences.
