Update User Permissions
Overview
This playbook covers how to update permissions for an individual user in Leadline.
Updating a user's permissions this way adjusts that specific user's individual access without changing their assigned role. Any changes made here override the permissions assigned by their role.
→ See 102 - Admin-Hub for more information on the Admin Hub and how to access it.
→ See 124 - User-Roles and 125 - User-Permissions for full product knowledge on how roles and permissions differ.
→ See 1116 - Configure-User-Roles for instructions on updating default permissions at the role level instead of for an individual user.
How Do I Update a User's Permissions?
- Clicking your initials in the top right of the screen and select "Admin Hub" from the dropdown.
- Navigate to the Users & Security tab.
- Find the user whose permissions you'd like to edit in the users table, click Actions next to their name, then select "Update Permission."
- The "Edit Permissions" modal opens for that user, showing their current Role and a "Reset to default" option. Select the tab for the area you want to adjust: Positions, Submissions, Landing Pages, Job Boards, CRM, Benefits, Messaging, Workflows, or Reporting.
- Within a tab, set each permission as needed. Controls vary by permission — for example, in the Positions tab, Create New Positions and Set Workflows for Positions are Yes/No choices, Edit Position Details, Edit Position Settings, Add and Remove Collaborators, and Create and Edit Application Forms are Yes/View Only choices, and View Positions is a choice between All Positions and From Assigned Workflows Only. Other tabs follow the same pattern of Yes/No and Yes/View Only controls for their respective permissions.
- Repeat step 4 for any other tabs you need to adjust for this user.
- Click "Save" at the bottom of the modal.
A confirmation message reading "User permissions updated successfully" appears once the changes are saved.
