Use of inaugural

Question

My boss at my last workplace asked me to give her "the inaugural pass to the building". It was the first pass that I had, but it was somebody else's before. Did she use "inaugural "in the right context?
Thanks

I suppose that 'inaugural pass' means an initial tour.

Thanks. She was referring to the pass that gives you access to the building.

Then 'inaugural pass' has no meaning for me, and a Google search for the term is no help.

Hi,

The inaugural pass sounds like the first pass ever issued to any employee, eg to the first person to be employed there.
.
A more common term for this would be eg the first pass.

If your boss does not mean this, I don't understand her intended meaning.
