Understanding User Permissions
User permissions control what each team member can see and do on your job board. This helps keep your account secure and ensures people only have access to what they need.
Step 1: Go to User Management
Navigate to "Users", "Team Members", or "User Management" in your dashboard settings.
Step 2: Select a User
Click on the team member whose permissions you want to change.
Step 3: View Current Permissions
You'll see what role they currently have and what permissions that role includes.
Step 4: Change Permissions
You can change permissions in two ways:
- Change Role: Assign a different role (Admin, Recruiter, Viewer) which automatically sets permissions
- Custom Permissions: Some plans allow you to set custom permissions for specific actions
Common Permission Levels
Admin Permissions
- Create, edit, and delete jobs
- View and manage all applications
- Invite and manage team members
- Change account settings
- Access billing and subscription information
- Manage company profile
Recruiter/Manager Permissions
- Create and edit jobs
- View and manage applications
- Communicate with candidates
- Move candidates through pipeline stages
- Cannot change account settings or billing

Viewer Permissions

Step 5: Save Changes
After making changes, click "Save" or "Update Permissions". The changes take effect immediately.
Best Practices
- Follow the principle of least privilege - only give people the minimum access they need
- Regularly review who has what permissions
- Remove access immediately when someone leaves the team
- Use viewer roles for people who just need to see information
