88 Miles adds OAuth - share your password no more!
Posted by Myles Eftos Fri, 22 Feb 2008 02:37:00 GMT
Last month, 88 Miles added OpenID, allowing you to use a single sign in with out having to give us your password details. That is great unless you wanted to use our webservice API, which required a username and password.
This is no longer the case!I have just pushed out an OAuth implementation, which allows 88 Miles user to grant access to 3rd party applications without providing a password! There are a number of pre-built libraries for a number of popular languages, which will make interfacing with 88 Miles easy.

Finer grain user access
As part of this roll out, I also pushed a change which will allow you to select what users have access to particular projects and companies, so rather than an all-in (public) or all-out (private) company or project, you can select a subset of your staff members that will have access.To do this, select the "Let me choose..." option for visibility when adding a Company or Project (You will need to select "More Details" first if you are on the projects page) and you will see all of you staff appear.
Happy time tracking!
