Paychex OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

Paychex uses OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (e.g. client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

Tokens are issued from https://api.paychex.com/auth/oauth/v2/token.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

Paychex implements OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

Paychex uses an OAuth 2.0 client_credentials flow with access granted per registered partner application and company rather than requestable scopes; the public docs (https://developer.paychex.com/getting-started/authentication) publish no scopes reference, showing scope values (read:company_people write:company_people read:workers) only inside a sample token response with no descriptions.
