Darwinbox proof types and permissions

Written by Hyperproof Support
Updated this week

Hyperproof uses Merge, a third-party API, to retrieve data from HRIS apps. Hyperproof uses the Employees, Employments, and Groups scopes. If you are interested in learning more about the permissions needed for HRIS Hypersyncs that use Merge, refer to the Merge Authentication Guides page in their Help Center.

Note: This Hypersync is not supported in Hyperproof Gov.

When you configure a Hypersync for Darwinbox on a control or label, you can automatically collect the following proof types:

Darwinbox proof types and fields

Proof type

Fields

Testable

Employees with Change in Employment Status

Name, Email, Department, Title, Status, Start Date, End Date

Yes

List of Employees

Name, Email, Department, Title, Status, Start Date, End Date

Yes

This Hypersync supports importing a company directory for an access review. See Importing a directory with a Hypersync for more information.

Blocking sensitive data

When Hyperproof connects to a Merge Hypersync, we intentionally minimize data exposure and follow least-privilege principles. Sensitive data can't be blocked entirely from within Hyperproof; it can only be blocked at the source. We recommend working with the System Administrator for the app you are accessing to configure a service account specifically for Hyperproof with access only to the data you need the Hypersync to collect.

Requirements

To connect to Darwinbox and collect proof, your Darwinbox configuration must meet the following requirements.

  • You must be a Darwinbox administrator.

  • Subdomain - The subdomain for your Darwinbox account. For example, if you sign in at https://acme.darwinbox.com, acme is your subdomain.

Reach out to your Darwinbox representative and ask for the following:

  • Username

  • Password

  • Access to the Fetch Employee Data (Full Load) API Endpoint

  • API Key and Dataset Key for All Active Employees

  • API Key and Dataset Key for All Inactive Employees

  • Enable the following employee data fields in the masterapi:

    • employee_id

    • department_name

    • designation_name

    • first_name

    • last_name

    • date_of_activation

    • latest_modified_timestamp

    • department_code

    • group_company_code

    • business_unit

    • business_unit_code

    • company_email_id

    • direct_manager_employee_id

    • full_name

    • date_of_joining

    • employee_status

Note: Hyperproof connects to many third-party systems that frequently change, including the system interface. Contact your System Administrator or the third-party provider for assistance in meeting the requirements to integrate with Hyperproof and collect the proof you need.

Connection configuration

Authentication type: Custom​

Custom authentication parameters: Subdomain, Username, Password, Active Employees API Key, Active Employees Dataset Key, Inactive Employees API Key, Inactive Employees Dataset Key

When you configure a Hypersync for Darwinbox for the first time, you must provide the following information:

  • Account data - Choose Production or Sandbox data.

  • Subdomain

  • Username

  • Password

  • Active Employees API Key

  • Active Employees Dataset Key

  • Inactive Employees API Key

  • Inactive Employees Dataset Key

The first time you run this Hypersync, it may take up to 24 hours to load all employee data.

Note: You only need to connect Hyperproof to the app once, and then you can create as many Hypersyncs as you need.

Additionally, you can create multiple Hypersyncs for a single control or label.
