Connector Improvement: HiBob
Not planned
Request: Add support for authenticating via a Service User (https://apidocs.hibob.com/docs/api-service-users).
Currently the HiBob Lite connector supports authenticating as a real user (via OAuth) only. It'd be better for us if we could use a Service User for this purpose as it lets us have finer grain control of permissions Fivetran needs (as I understand currently the integration requires admin-level access to function fully, we'd prefer grant read-only) - and in HiBob keeps Fivetran access managed in the same place as other API integrations we have, rather than mixed in with our staff accounts.

Hi Daniel -
Thanks for submitting this feature request. Are you able to control the access with OAuth via the scopes provided by HiBob? Typically OAuth is the preferred and most secure authentication mechanism, and thus we opt for this when it's available.
Thanks,
Erin

Hi Erin, thanks for the reply.
I think I must have mixed up the setup process for another connector when I wrote about OAuth, looking at the setup guide (https://fivetran.com/docs/applications/hibob/setup-guide) has jogged my memory. Double-checked and I'm able to configure permissions in HiBob when creating the API token there.
Apologies for the confusion, I think this request is fine to close
