Permissioned data access

Browserbase gives your agents real browsers to sign in to the payroll, HRIS, and patient portal accounts your users authorize. Reliable access to the data your product depends on, with every session on the record.

Why permissioned data access breaks at scale

  1. Most payroll providers, HR platforms, and patient portals offer a login page. If your user can see the data, your agent has to see it the same way.
  2. Every hospital system, clinic group, payroll provider, and employer configures its portal differently, so every new connection means a new build.
  3. Security questions, verification prompts, and expiring sessions stop scripts that expect a single username and password.
  4. Portals challenge automated visitors with CAPTCHAs, and a failed login can lock your user out of their own account.

Streamlining data access with Browserbase

Concurrent browsers

Run hundreds of browsers in parallel, each in its own isolated VM, so your agents can retrieve data from numerous user-authorized accounts at once.

Credential management

Manage the credentials your users authorize with 1Password, so logins stay out of your agent's code.

Verified Identity

Browserbase co-built Agent Identity with the bot protection and identity providers websites already rely on, so your agents sign in with verified access, not workarounds.

Built-in observability

Live view, session replay, and full logs show exactly which pages your agent visited and what it retrieved, so every authorized session leaves a trail you can audit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is permissioned data access?

Permissioned data access is when your product accesses a user's own accounts, such as payroll, HRIS, or a patient portal, with that user's authorization, to retrieve their data on their behalf.

How is this different from scraping?

The access is authorized by account owner. The agent acts on the user's behalf with their permission, logging into an account they own to retrieve their own data. Browserbase provides the Verified access and the observability to do that securely and with an audit trail.

Can it cover hundreds of different payroll and HRIS providers?

Yes. Concurrent browsers run many authorized logins in parallel, and self-healing automation adapts to each provider's layout, so you can extend coverage across the long tail of portals without a script per provider.

How do agents sign in to accounts my users authorize?<br>

Credentials are injected at runtime and managed through a secure 1Password vault.

How does Browserbase handle sensitive payroll and health data?

Browserbase is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified, and BAAs and DPAs are available on Enterprise plans. Current reports are at trust.browserbase.com.

What happens when a provider's portal changes?

Self-healing automation adapts to layout and login changes instead of breaking on a hardcoded selector, so authorized access keeps working as providers update their portals.
