Firstbase has three main types of user roles:
Basic Users
Basic users can access their personal account in the Firstbase platform, place orders for equipment based on their assigned package, and update details like their contact information. Employees who only use Firstbase to order and manage their equipment should be added as Basic users.
Admin Users
Admins can access and change details for all employees that have been added to the platform, see all inventory and order information, as well as edit package assignments. They can also place one-off orders, returns, replacements and offboard users.
Only those who manage employees and equipment via the Firstbase platform should be added as Admin users.
Admin (Read Only) Users
Admin (Read Only) users can access all platform information, but are not able to do any type of platform action. They cannot place orders, returns, inventory orders. They cannot create, update or offboard employees. They cannot edit packages. Their access is limited to viewing or exporting information on the platform.
