# Set up a BambooHR connector

> C1 provides identity governance for BambooHR. Integrate your BambooHR instance with C1 to run user access reviews (UARs) and enable just-in-time access requests.

<Tip>
  **This is an updated and improved version of the BambooHR connector!**

  If you're setting up BambooHR with C1 for the first time, you're in the right place.
</Tip>

## Gather BambooHR credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in BambooHR. Gather these credentials before you move on.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Log into your BambooHR **Administrator** account.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Make a note of the company domain, which is found in the URL.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Next we'll create a BambooHR API token. The user that creates the API token must be assigned an access level with these permissions:

    * Personal » Basic Info » Status - View Only
    * Personal » Contact » Work Email - View Only
    * Personal » Basic Info » First Name - View Only
    * Personal » Basic Info » Last Name - View Only
    * Job » Job Information » Reporting To - View Only
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the **BambooHR icon** in the top right corner of the page and select **API Keys**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    On the API Keys page, select **Add New Key**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Enter a name for your new key and then click **Generate Key**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Copy the newly generated API key.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Done.** Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

## Configure the BambooHR connector

<Warning>
  **To complete this task, you'll need:**

  * The **Connector Administrator** or **Super Administrator** role in C1
  * Access to the set of BambooHR credentials generated by following the instructions above
</Warning>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Cloud-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.**

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** and click **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **BambooHR v2** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new BambooHR connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Find the **Settings** area of the page and click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Enter your company's BambooHR domain into the **Company domain** field.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Paste the API key into the **API key** field.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Save**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        The connector's label changes to **Syncing**, followed by **Connected**. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your BambooHR connector is now pulling access data into C1.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Self-hosted">
    **Follow these instructions to use the BambooHR connector, hosted and run in your own environment.**

    When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

    ### Step 1: Set up a new BambooHR connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        In C1, navigate to **Integrations** > **Connectors** > **Add connector**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Search for **Baton** and click **Add**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Choose how to set up the new BambooHR connector:

        * Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren't yet managed with C1)
        * Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)
        * Create a new managed app
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of C1 users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.
        If you choose someone else, C1 will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Next**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In the **Settings** area of the page, click **Edit**.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Click **Rotate** to generate a new Client ID and Secret.
        Carefully copy and save these credentials. We'll use them in Step 2.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ### Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

    Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your BambooHR connector deployment:

    #### Secrets configuration

    ```yaml theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-bamboohr-secrets.yaml
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: baton-bamboohr-secrets
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      # C1 credentials
      BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
      BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
      
      # BambooHR credentials
      BATON_API_KEY: <The API key generated for this integration>
      BATON_COMPANY_DOMAIN: <Your company's BambooHR domain>
    ```

    See the connector's README or run `--help` to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

    #### Deployment configuration

    ```yaml expandable theme={"theme":{"light":"css-variables","dark":"css-variables"}}
    # baton-bamboohr.yaml
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: baton-bamboohr
      labels:
        app: baton-bamboohr
    spec:
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: baton-bamboohr
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: baton-bamboohr
            baton: true
            baton-app: bamboohr
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: baton-bamboohr
            image: ghcr.io/conductorone/baton-bamboohr:latest
            imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
            env:
            - name: BATON_HOST_ID
              value: baton-bamboohr
            envFrom:
            - secretRef:
                name: baton-bamboohr-secrets
    ```

    ### Step 3: Deploy the connector

    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click **Apps**. On the **Managed apps** tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the BambooHR connector to. BambooHR data should be found on the **Entitlements** and **Accounts** tabs.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    **Done.** Your BambooHR connector is now pulling access data into C1.
