Their are two types of Data Access Tokens:

1 - An admin data access token that provides access to all information in the database.
or
2 - An employee data access token for apps that provides access to only information that employee has access too.

So how do you figure out which token is entered?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The following is some C# code for requesting the User's Employee ID and checking to see if it's the admin token or not.

The code leverages the .NET common library found here (can just download the dll and reference that directly – don’t need all of the code unless they want to tweak/add to the library): https://github.com/dovicoapi/DotNetCommonLibrary

The following is just a helper class that handles dealing with the REST API…

public class CEmployee
{
// Returns the Employee ID that belongs to the Data Access Token specified
public static string GetEmployeeID(string sConsumerSecret, string sUserToken)
{
string sURI = CRestApiHelper.BuildURI("Employees/Me/", "", "1");//Would be better to use a constant for the API Version number just to make it easier to change later
return CRestApiHelper.MakeAPIRequest(sURI, "GET", "text/xml", "", sConsumerSecret, sUserToken);
}
}

In the code...

// Request the Employee ID that belongs to this token and load the XML into an XmlDocument object (consumer secret is within the web.config of the ASP.NET project
// but you could easily just set up a constant instead)
//
// sUserToken is the token provided by the user of the app
XmlDocument xdDoc = new XmlDocument();
xdDoc.LoadXml(CEmployee.GetEmployeeID(Settings.Default.CONSUMER_SECRET, sUserToken));

// Grab the EmployeeID node from the XML. If a node was found then...
XmlNode xnNode = xdDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Employees/Employee/ID");
if (xnNode != null)
{
// Grab the Employee ID value
CDovicoID idEmployee = CDovicoID.Parse(xnNode.InnerText);

// will be set to True if this is the admin data access token (from the DB Options view in DOVICO), or False if this is a standard employee's data access token
// (from the Employee Time Entry Options view in DOVICO)
bIsAdminUserToken = (idEmployee == 99);
}
else // An error message was returned (e.g. bad token provided which results in an unauthorized error)
{
// Check for an error and display it to the user if need be (e.g. might have failed because the token provided was not valid)
}

The following is some Java code for requesting the User's Employee ID and checking to see if it's the admin token or not.

The code leverages the Java common library found here (can just download the jar and reference that directly – don’t need all of the code unless they want to tweak/add to the library):
https://github.com/dovicoapi/JavaCommonLibrary

// Make the Employee/Me API call. If no data was returned then exit now (the Employee/Me call should always succeed regardless of user security settings which
// means either the token(s) provided is invalid or there was another issue like a network error)
//
// NOTE: If there was an error, the CRESTAPIHelper.makeAPIRequest method will display it to the user
APIRequestResult arResult = CRESTAPIHelper.makeAPIRequest(CRESTAPIHelper.buildURI("Employees/Me/", "", "1"), "GET", null, getConsumerSecret(), getDataAccessToken());
Document xdDoc = arResult.getResultDocument();
if(xdDoc == null) { return false; }


// Grab the list of Employee nodes and from that list grab the first item (there should always be one node)
Element xeEmployee = (Element)xdDoc.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("Employee").item(0);

// Pull the Employee ID, First Name, and Last Name from the employee node
Long lEmployeeID = Long.valueOf(CXMLHelper.getChildNodeValue(xeEmployee, "ID"));

// will be set to True if this is the admin data access token (from the DB Options view in DOVICO), or False if this is a standard employee's data access token
// (from the Employee Time Entry Options view in DOVICO)
bIsAdminUserToken = (lEmployeeID == 99L);

Estimated client cost is the calculated amount used for billing clients (or for charge back) for tasks or projects.

For each task assignment, the factors used in calculating estimated client costs are:

Estimated hours: The estimated number of hours required by an employee to finish the task.

Task Prorating: A multiplier assigned to the task. Used when you charge clients more (or less) for time spent on specific tasks. This is initially set using the value in the task's prorating field.

Rate charged: The hourly rate charged (billable rate) for the employee assigned to the task.

Estimated client cost = estimate hours x rate charged x task prorating

Client cost is the calculated amount used for billing clients (or charge back) for tasks or projects.

For each approved time entry, the factors used in calculating client costs are:

Billable Hours worked: The number of billable hours worked by an employee on the task.

Task Prorating: A multiplier assigned to the task. Used when you charge clients more (or less) for time spent on specific tasks. This is initially set using the value in the task's prorating field.

Rate charged: The hourly rate charged (billable rate) for the employee assigned to the task.

Overtime (OT) charge prorating: An overtime multiplier assigned to the employee's rate charged value. This multiplier is initially set using the prorating field in the overtime rates view.

Client cost = billable hours worked x task prorating x rate charged x overtime charge prorating.

To figure out Client Costs use the following formula:

Actual company cost is the calculated amount used to determine your company's cost to accomplish a task or project.

For each approved time entry, the factors used in calculating company costs are:

Hours worked: The number of hours worked by an employee on the task.

Rate of wages: The hourly wage rate (pay rate) for the employee assigned to the task.

Overtime (OT) wage prorating: An overtime multiplier assigned to the employee's rate of wages value. This multiplier is initially set using the prorating field in the overtime rates view.

Company cost = hours worked x rate of wages x overtime wage prorating
