In Velory there are 3 different types of user roles available which determine what you are able to do and see in Velory. On top of these 3 user roles that you can have in an account there is also a possibility for a Service account, here you can read more about service account.
This article includes the following topics:
Employee role
An employee can have access to Velory which helps the employee to manage, keep track of, and purchase the hardware they need to do their job. If the company has the employee experience add-on package available in their billing plan, employees can place their own orders in the Velory store. An employee can see their profile with assigned hardware, follow activities like product requests and placed orders.
The only information that an employee can update themself is their own personal information like email address and phone number.
Purchase manager role
As a purchase manager, you can be assigned to oversee an employee, team, or location. When designated as an attestation manager for an employee, team, or location, product requests from the associated employees within that team or location will be forwarded to you for approval. Furthermore, a purchase manager has the ability to make purchases on behalf of the employees within that team or location.
There are no limitations on how many purchase managers can be added to an account but ideally you only have a few purchase managers who are all assigned to a team or location of your account.
The Purchase Manager role is currently available to selected companies for the initial version of this function. If you don't see this role in your company yet, it hasn't been released. For more details, reach out to Velory support.
Admin role
As an admin in Velory you have full control and access to all features in your account. There are no limitations on how many admins can be added to an account but ideally you only have a few admins of your account. As an admin you can for example do the following:
