Moving candidates and prospects across jobs with different job admin permission levels

When a user has different levels of access across jobs, they can move a candidate to another job where they have permissions that are the same level or lower but cannot move a candidate to another job where their permissions are higher.

For example, if a user's Job Admin level on your Marketing Assistant job includes the permission stripe 'Can email candidates,' but the user's Job Admin level on the VP of Marketing job does not include this permission. The user's Job Admin levels on the two jobs are otherwise identical.

In this case:

  • Moving or adding a candidate from Marketing Assistant to VP of Marketing is allowed, because the user is moving a candidate from a job where they have higher (additional) permissions to one where they have lower (fewer) permissions.
  • Moving or adding a candidate from VP of Marketing to Marketing Assistant is not allowed, because the user would be moving the candidate from a job where they have lower permissions to a job where they have higher permissions. This could allow the user to email the candidate, which they were not able to do on the candidate's original job. This essentially allows the user to upgrade their own permissions past where they have been set, however inadvertently.

Similar logic also impacts the ability of Job Admin users to merge candidates and prospects. To learn more about this, click here.
