Authentication

The Authentication API allows you to provision an employee’s Paperless Employee account and setup authentication values.

Note: The format of the EmployeeID, AuthValue1 and AuthValue2 are configurable and specific to each client site. You will need to confirm the format of each of those fields with your implementation specialist before testing this endpoint.

1. You can call the /api/admin/authdata endpoint to send us the authentication data in a one step process. This request will process the authentication data for the company. The detailed documentation can be found here.

or

2. You can stage and process the authentication data via an approval process on paperlessemployee.com.
