# What is the difference between a company badge vs. a project badge?

## An employee can be issued either a company badge or a project badge, but each offers slightly different access.

**Company Badges** - If a badge is issued to an employee under *Company \> Smart Badges*, that employee can use that badge for any projects they are added to under that company. For example, if Mountain General Contracting provides a company badge to their safety manager Karen, then she is added to three of their projects, Karen can use that same badge for all three projects.

**Project Badges** - If a badge is issued to an employee under *Project \> Smart Badges*, that employee will only be able to use that badge for that specific project.

*Note:* If a company employee just needs to see and manage projects and will not be on site, their permissions can be adjusted for this. To see and manage all projects, becoming a [company admin](https://knowledgebase.mycomply.net/create-company-admin?hsLang=en) may be best. If they only need to manage aspects of specific projects, consider granting them [project admin](https://knowledgebase.mycomply.net/project-permissions?hsLang=en) access.
