What the Rippling +

Basecamp

 Integration Does

  • Automated account provisioning: New hires get Basecamp accounts created automatically based on their Rippling role and department.
  • Project-level access scoping: Access can be scoped to specific projects relevant to an employee's role rather than granting account-wide visibility.
  • Automated deprovisioning: Employee offboarding in Rippling triggers automatic suspension of Basecamp access.
  • SSO integration: Rippling can serve as the identity source for Basecamp login, consolidating credentials across the application stack.

What Mid-Market Teams Get Wrong

  • Granting blanket account access regardless of role: Not every hire needs visibility into every active project; scoping access by role keeps Basecamp organized as the team and project count grows.
  • Skipping SSO configuration: Without SSO, Basecamp becomes another separately managed credential, adding unnecessary password overhead for growing teams.
  • Manual deprovisioning: Relying on manual account suspension after departures leaves client and project data accessible to former employees longer than necessary.
  • Not revisiting project-level access as roles change: Employees moving between teams or projects need their Basecamp access updated accordingly, which is often missed without explicit provisioning rules for role changes.

How thePeopleStack Configures This

We configure provisioning rules that create Basecamp accounts automatically for new hires, scoped to the specific projects relevant to their role and department rather than granting blanket account-wide access.

We set up SSO so Basecamp login uses the same Rippling-managed credentials as the rest of the client's application stack, simplifying access management for growing teams.

We validate the provisioning and deprovisioning workflow with sample hire and termination scenarios before go-live, confirming access changes correctly through the employee lifecycle.

USA & Canadian Operations Note

Basecamp is popular with US small and mid-market teams wanting a simple, all-in-one project and client communication tool without the complexity of specialized PM software.

Canadian and cross-border operations: Canadian employees provisioned through Rippling get the same automated Basecamp access as US staff, with thePeopleStack confirming license counts stay accurate across entities.

FAQs

How does Rippling provision new users into Basecamp?

New hires with roles requiring project visibility get a Basecamp account created automatically based on their Rippling department and role, without manual IT setup.

Can access be scoped to specific projects rather than the whole account?

Yes — Basecamp's project-level access can be scoped so employees are added only to the specific projects relevant to their role, rather than granted blanket visibility across every active project.

Is deprovisioning automatic when an employee leaves?

Yes — offboarding an employee in Rippling triggers automatic suspension of their Basecamp account, protecting client and project data from lingering access.

Does this integration support single sign-on?

Rippling can serve as the identity provider for Basecamp login, allowing teams to authenticate with the same credentials used across their broader application stack.

How long does configuration take?

A standard setup covering account provisioning, project-level access scoping, and deprovisioning typically takes 2–3 hours.
