Greenhouse Recruiting allows your organization to automatically assign users job-based permissions on future jobs. In some cases, your team might wish to assign job-based permissions to a group of users on all future jobs except those in a specified Office and/or Department.

Example: Your organization might choose to grant members of your Recruiting team permissions on most new jobs automatically, but want to limit which users have permissions on People team jobs, as new hires on the People team will be your Recruiters' direct peers. 
Using the Exclude permissions function option when creating permission rules, you can easily remove users from those future jobs.

Add a checkmark to the Notify user of new permission via email box to send communication to the impacted users. 

Next, use the Rules panel to select the Job type. Then, select the Office and/or Department, and choose Exclude permissions from the permission dropdown menu. 

Notes:

  • You can exclude users from permissions on current jobs by selecting Current and future jobs from the dropdown menu. This option is only available if the users have already been given job-based permissions. 
  • It is not possible to exclude permissions on all future jobs. The Exclude permissions option only appears when assigning future job permissions in a specified Office and/or Department.

To exclude the group of users from multiple sets of job-based permissions, click Add rule

Note: You can only define additional rules after the first one is created. 

Click Save when done. The bulk permissions rule runs in the background and notifies you at the bottom of the page when it is finished.

If you need to assign excluded users permissions in an Office and/or Department where you have excluded future permissions, you can manually assign them using the job-based permissions process
