The following permissions relate to the Recruiting functionality and are dynamically assigned. These permissions cannot be assigned in Security Administration. Instead, they are assigned by the system when a user meets the criteria for the permissions. For example, when a user is defined as an owner in the Hiring Team section on the General tab for job requisition templates and job requisitions, the Requisition: Owner permission is assigned to the user. Similarly, when a user is defined as an interviewer in the Applicant Interviewer(s) section for job requisition templates and job requisitions, the Requisition: Interviewer permission is assigned to the user.
PERMISSION NAME | PERMISSION DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY |
Offer: Approver | Grants ability to access and approve/deny offer letters and include comments for offers for which the user is listed as an approver. Grants ability to access pages related to requisitions for which the user is listed as an approver, including read-only access to all tabs of the Edit Requisition page in Manage Job Requisitions. This permission cannot be constrained. Note: This is a dynamically assigned permission that is not available in Security Role Administration. This permission cannot be constrained. Once assigned, the permission is never removed dynamically, which enables approvers to revisit offer letters that they have already approved or denied. If an approver is removed from an offer that is in a Pending Offer status, the approver can no longer access that version of the offer letter in their Pending tab. If an approver is removed from a past version of an offer, the approver's access to the past offer remains. This permission cannot be manually assigned. | Recruiting |
Requisition: Approver | Enables approver to access and approve/deny requisitions for which they are an approver. This permission cannot be constrained.

This permission cannot be manually assigned. | Recruiting |
Requisition: Hiring Manager |
Grants ability to view requisitions and applicants for jobs for which user is listed as a Hiring Manager. This permission cannot be constrained.

This permission cannot be manually assigned. Also, if a user has both the permission necessary to manage requisitions and be a requisition owner, the constraints of the Requisition: Manage permission overrule those of the Requisition: Owner permission.

However, if the reviewer was also added as a reviewer via the General tab when creating, editing, or copying the requisition, the reviewer still appears on the In Review panel as a duplicate reviewer and retains access to the requisition and applicants from the Requisition: Reviewer permission. See Applicant Profile Page Overview for more information about duplicate reviewer instances. |
