Default Roles & Profiles
Generic solutions won't work for unique problems, right? Wrong.
Using Zoho Recruit's roles and profiles, you can maintain data security while accommodating unique job roles and their access permissions. A user's permissions and access privileges dictate what they can view, operate and share. This in turn lets you build custom security profiles that fit your company's hiring process like a glove.
What are Roles and Profiles?
Role
Roles control which records/objects a user can share based on their role in the hierarchy.
Profile
Profiles determine what users can see (control the visibility of objects, tabs, fields) and do. Profiles are typically defined by a job function.
Access Levels
To help you understand how the various default roles and profiles Zoho Recruit has to offer, we've split them into three access categories, namely Universal access, Intermediate access and View-only access.
Access levels are classified based on how they let users interact with data/features in Zoho Recruit. They are a combination of both roles and profiles. Note that access levels aren't a part of Zoho Recruit, we've used them as a tool to help describe the various access levels you can build and implement using roles and profiles.
Listed below are the three different access types used in this article;
- Universal Access: Reserved for Primary Admins & Admins. These users access and share everything in your Zoho Recruit account.
- Intermediate access: Reserved for Recruiters, Hiring Managers & HR personnel, i.e, users involved in the hiring process. Some users may be involved from end-to-end and some may be evaluating candidates and leaving notes. Standard access provides the most flexibility.
- View-only access: Reserved for guest users & employees, i.e, users who will only ever view records, leave comments, and make referrals.
Default Roles & Profiles
Listed below are the default roles and profiles provided by Zoho Recruit, as well as some additional information on how they work.
