Note: This feature is only available to Admin users.
Administrators can add team members, contractors, and external clients to their workspace. Users fall into three categories: users (employees), external users (freelancers or contractors), and clients (outside organizations you do business with). You can manage access and permissions directly from the Users section.
In this article, we will cover:
- User Types in BasicOps
- Adding Users
- Adding External Users
- Adding Clients or Vendors
- Editing User Roles and Permissions
- Removing or Deactivating Users
User Types in BasicOps
| User Type | Who They Are | Access Scope |
| Users | Employees of your company | Full access based on the users role (Admin, general user) |
| External Users | Contractors, freelancers, temporary workers | Nearly full access except for administrative privileges |
| Clients | Employees of outside organizations (agencies, partners, suppliers, customers) | Limited to tasks and discussions within assigned projects |
To read more about what each type of user does, read here.
Note: You can rename the label for users from outside organizations - such as clients or vendors - to something that better fits your business, like "Partners" or "Agencies"
