Update to MYOB Developer Program Terms and Conditions

A good idea - something XERO has already - no I am not pushing their access methods; it is just getting on-board as a partner there, required grasping scope as a standard part of an api call. 

It did my head in for a while, having gained my knowledge with the MYOB API calls - but likely, hopefully will make transition of my apps by Mar 26 easier.

A good Xmas project me thinks because Mar 26 will be here in a flash having now weathered 72 Christmases and their speed of transit from the end-of-the-year into the New Year.

The Doc

This is all a bit vague. I get that from March all my users will have to redo authorisation at least once every 12 months and I can send them an email telling them to do just that but at the moment all my apps are set  up for the old process.  Should I be telling them to redo authorisation before some date in March? 

I also get that I will need to amend my applications to replace the scope with a list of more specific scopes and the resulting authorisation will be for a specific company file as identified by a business Id/guid. If the users applies the app to more than one company file then the app will need to securely store authorisation details including business Id, code and refresh token specific to each file.

At present my apps get a company file list via the Companies end point and put it in a combo box so they can select the file. I gather that option will cease to be available so the company file selection will have to be from the above list generated via the authorisation process.

I am working on adapting the apps to do it that way but feel it would be nice if someone would provide a specific deadline for implementing this, preferably not too imminently. 

I have raised support tickets asking for more details and specifically this question and received no reply, only occasional snippets of information about how it will work being added to the online documentation. 

Hi eJulia​ , every app is different, but:

• note that only admin users can authorise from now on
• authorisation is file-specific; previously it applied to all files for which a user has access 
• MYOB will take care of prompts for renewals of authorisation
• the deadline is 28/02/26 (not 31/3/26)
• we've incorporated the necessary changes to our app
• we like not having to maintain a list of files
• we found the new oAuth process kinder/simpler in some ways, harder in others
• we've set up a default list of scopes per company that can be edited prior to authorisation (the feedback from MYOB during authorisation is quite generic). Our list is quite broad, to cater for all possible reports, but users can still choose to tailor it
• we've always stored file ID, access/refresh tokens per company
• we've advised users that an update is required by 28/02/26, and we're sending instructions
• we're preparing to support users who need help, expecting a busy week coming.
