Authentication

Gusto Embedded supports two types of tokens that are used throughout development: company-level tokens and system-level tokens.

System access tokens allow you to carry out application level actions such as:

• Creating a partner managed company
• Viewing invoices

Company access tokens allow you to carry out company level actions, such as:

• Getting company employees
• Running payroll for a company

Each partner managed company has a single access token that cannot be used to access other companies. If you're on a version older than 2023-05-01, see Upgrading to Strict Access for more information on upgrading to strict access.

See the System Access Tokens and Company Access Tokens for more details.
