# Grant temporary access to BambooHR

In **rare cases**—such as **data inconsistencies** or **bug investigations**—your Drivetrain support or onboarding team may ask you to grant temporary access to your BambooHR account. This allows us to **troubleshoot directly** using a controlled, read-only user that you create.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use this guide only if requested by Drivetrain. This is not required for initial setup or general connection issues.
{% endhint %}

### Overview

This guide walks you through how to:

1. Add a **temporary user account** for the Drivetrain team
2. Assign the **correct permissions**
3. **Revoke access** once troubleshooting is complete

Access is temporary and limited to what’s required for diagnosis. You retain full control and visibility at all times.

### Step 1: Add a Temporary Admin User

1. In BambooHR, go to **Settings** 
2. Select **Access Levels** 
3. Click on **Full Admin** 
4. Click **Add a New Non-Employee User**

### Step 2: Fill in Temporary Admin User details

1. Use the following details:
   1. **First name:** Drivetrain&#x20;
   2. **Last name:** AI
   3. **Email:** `dp-[yourcompany]@drivetrain.ai` *(provided by your CSM)*
   4. **Access Level:** Full Admin
2. Click **Save**

{% hint style="info" %}
**Full admin access** is required only for the duration of troubleshooting. No passwords need to be shared manually.
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Notify the Drivetrain Team

Once the user has been created:

* **Notify** your Drivetrain CSM via email or Slack
* The **Drivetrain team** will log in and proceed with debugging

### Step 4: Remove Access After Troubleshooting

After the issue is resolved:

1. Go to **Settings > Access Levels > Full Admin**
2. **Hover** on the temporary Drivetrain user
3. Click **Manage Access**
4. Select **No Access**&#x20;
5. Click **Update Access**

{% hint style="warning" %}
Temporary access is granted only for issue resolution. Access is handled via user provisioning—no credentials are shared manually. You can remove or deactivate the user at any time.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://integrations.drivetrain.ai/integration-guide/integrate-with-drivetrain/hris-and-ats/integrating-with-bamboohr/grant-temporary-access-to-bamboohr.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
