Permissions:

Product tier:

A user's permission level determines their access, abilities, and responsibilities in Greenhouse Recruiting. This is the permission listed alongside each user on the Users page.

There are three permission levels:

  • Basic
  • Job Admin (specified as Job Admin: Standard, Job Admin: Private, or Job Admin: Custom)
  • Site Admin
Note: Job Admin: Standard and Job Admin: Private are preconfigured by default but can be customized by organizations with an Advanced or Expert subscription tier. The table below reflects the default configurations of each permission level.

Tasks that can be added via user-specific permissions are indicated as such.

Tasks that are marked as configurable are available but deactivated by default. To enable them, go to Configure Configure-icon.png > Permission Policies > See and manage Job Admin levels.
