Step 2 - Connect with your Service User or API Key

We recommend you to select the first option and create a Service User which will allow you to fully control the permissions.

Step 4 - Create a Permission Group

1) Back in your Settings, go to Account > Permission Groups and select Add permission group.

2) Name the group, then, in the Group members section, choose Select people by condition and select Edit.

In the Select people by condition pop-up, delete the existing condition.

⚠ Do not skip this step!

HiBob's default configuration is to add all employees to a new permissions group. If you don't delete the existing condition this, employees might be exposed to compensation data.

Add the Service User previously created in the dropdown menu for Add Specific Employees then click Apply.

3) Finish the initial creation of the Group by selecting Create. If a pop-up appears, Confirm the creation of the group.

In this view please double check that the service user, and only the service user, is part of the permissions group (as can be seen in the image below).

Step 5 - Adding permissions

Under People's Data add the following permissions:

  • Address

  • Employment

  • Home

  • Lifecycle

  • Payroll

  • Personal

  • Work

* Please note we don't need any 'Edit' permissions.
** We do not support custom fields at the moment. For mandatory fields, you'll be able to add the data manually.

Step 6 - Paste the ID and Token to Compete

By clicking 'Submit' the integration will start.
