Be consistent.

It can be a narrative technique where the main character is first person and the others are third person.

This is useful for if you want to hide things from the reader. The main character will have their flawed perception, and the third person view can be used to explain how characters in the other parts of the story are progressing. It can also be used to build up comedic/dramatic tension in the audience, at how the characters misunderstand the situation.

It's also useful for epic stories where the reader gets tired of the main character, or set the scene for a defining moment for a side character.
