Access levels
Basecamp has one level. The connect window shows it as Default and describes it as “Standard access.” Agents can use all 140 Basecamp actions. You cannot choose a narrower level for Basecamp. You can block single agents with No access under Per-agent access. The Basecamp sign-in page asks you to approve full access to your account. This is expected. Squad does not narrow the sign-in, and standard access does not limit which Basecamp actions agents can use.What agents can do
The summary below groups the Basecamp actions into plain tasks. The full list after it names every action, grouped by what the action works on. You do not need to name actions. Ask in plain words, and the agent searches for the matching action. Each action shows its name, a one-line description where the Basecamp action catalog has one, and its slug. The slug is the ID that agents use when they call the action.- View, create, and update tasks

Sign in to Basecamp
Set access for one agent
Every agent can use the account unless you block it.- Under YOUR CONNECTIONS, open the account menu (⋯) on the Basecamp account.
- Click Manage scope.
- Under Per-agent access, find the agent.
- Choose No access to block the agent. Choose Default (Default) to allow it again.
- Click Save access.
Use more than one Basecamp account
Click + Account on the Basecamp card to connect another account. Agents use the primary account unless they are asked to use a specific one.- After you click + Account, follow the connect steps above.
- The first account you connect becomes the primary account. It shows ★ PRIMARY.
- To change the primary account, open the account menu (⋯) and click Make primary.
- To tell accounts apart, open the account menu (⋯) and click Rename.
Reconnect or disconnect
Reconnect when the connection has expired, or when you need to change what the account can reach on the Basecamp side:- Open the account menu (⋯) and click Reconnect.
- Click Reauthorize on Basecamp.
- Sign in to Basecamp and approve the request.
Costs
Basecamp actions do not use Squad credits. Connected apps never use credits. For what does use credits, see What Squad costs.Troubleshooting
An agent says it has no access to Basecamp, or it does not see the account.- Cause: the agent is set to No access under Per-agent access, or the account is not connected.
- Fix: open Manage scope and change the agent’s row. If the account is missing, connect it again.
- Cause: your Squad subscription is not active.
- Fix: resubscribe. See Manage your subscription.
- Cause: the sign-in for that account is no longer valid.
- Fix: use Reconnect on the account.
