Grant a rental supplier access

How to give a rental supplier access to add rented equipment to your company, where the equipment then appears and how to revoke access.

Written by Thim Smedbrant

When should I use this guide?

  • When you rent equipment and want the rental supplier to add the rented equipment to Infobric Equipment.

  • When you want to revoke a rental supplier's access.


Requirements

  • You are an administrator in the company.

  • Rental suppliers is activated for your company.

  • You are working on the web. Rental suppliers is not available in the app.


How to do it

On the web

Grant access

  1. Go to Admin > Rental suppliers.

  2. On the Suppliers tab, you can see the rental suppliers that are available to your company.

  3. Turn on the switch next to the rental supplier that should have access.

Access applies immediately. A message confirms that the supplier now has access to add rental equipment.

Where the rented equipment appears

When the rental supplier adds rented equipment, it appears under Admin > Equipment > Rented. Rented equipment that is not placed on a project is on the Needs project tab. There you choose which project to place the equipment on.

Revoke access

  1. Go to Admin > Rental suppliers.

  2. Turn off the switch next to the rental supplier.

  3. Click Revoke access in the dialog.

The rental supplier can then no longer add rental equipment to your company. You can grant access again at any time.


If it does not work

First, check that:

  • you are logged in on the web,

  • you are an administrator in the company,

  • Rental suppliers is activated for your company.

If Rental suppliers is missing under Admin

The menu is only shown to administrators in companies where Rental suppliers is activated. If you are not an administrator, contact an administrator in your company. If you are an administrator and the menu is missing, contact Infobric.

If the rental supplier is missing from the list

The list only shows rental suppliers that are already connected to Infobric Equipment. If the list is empty, No rental suppliers are available. is shown. Contact Infobric if the rental supplier you want to use is missing.


Tips!

  • Place the rented equipment on the right project and save the mapping, and future rentals will be placed automatically. See the guide Place rented equipment on the right project.

  • On the Project mappings tab under Admin > Rental suppliers, you can see which external projects are mapped to which projects.
