You can create a permissions "rule" to update a user's permission for future jobs when they are created in a specific office or department in your organization. 

If you need to change the permissions on jobs for existing users, click here

Note: We're making some improvements to bulk assigning job-based permissions and rolling them out to organizations soon. The information in this article covers new functionality and may not match organizations using the older version.

Note: You can quickly locate users by selecting Quick Select and locating the users by name or email address. You can also paste a list of users in this field if each email address or name is separated by a comma.

When all the users are selected, click Edit Selected

Select an office, department, and permission level from the dropdown menu. When a new job is added with the matching criteria, the selected users are automatically assigned the permission level. 

You can also update user permissions on current jobs by selecting Currently open and future jobs from the dropdown menu. This option is only available if the users have already been given job-based permissions.
