Scheduling Center Permissions

Permissions for Performing Actions in Scheduling Center

Actions that users can perform in the Scheduling Center are determined by a combination of user type permission and their calendar role on each calendar. This includes:

SmartOrg user type permissions assigned to the user.
Calendar Role assigned to the user for each calendar.

Additionally, candidates may be granted permissions for actions on specific calendars based on the Candidate Self-service Level set for that calendar.

Scheduling Center User

The Scheduling Center user has access to the Scheduling Center.

Users can be granted one of the following two SmartOrg user type permissions:

User Type Permission	Location
Create calendars and access Scheduling Center	Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Types > Recruiting > Scheduling
Access Scheduling Center	Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Types > Recruiting > Scheduling

The Access Scheduling Center user type permission gives users access to the Scheduling Center. The functions users will be allowed to perform in the Scheduling Center will depend on the Calendar Role.

The Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission allows users to create calendars via the Add New Calendar button in the Scheduling Center. Users granted this permission will automatically be assigned the Calendar Owner role, although the creator does not have to be the owner. Users with this user type permission will still need to be assigned calendar roles for other calendars they do not own or create.

Users granted the Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission can choose another Calendar Owner or remain the Calendar Owner. However, these users will always keep the Calendar Owner role allowing them to go back to the calendar after creation.

The Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission should be used to grant users the ability to create calendars without granting full Scheduling Center configuration rights.

Calendar Role

A calendar role is the right of a user to perform a task in the Scheduling Center.

Calendar roles are granted to users by a Scheduling Center Administrator or by a user granted the Create calendars and access Scheduling Center user type permission when the calendar is created or by the Calendar Owner or an Administer Calendars user. The role a user is granted is for a specific calendar. Before a role can be granted to a user, the user must first be granted access to the Scheduling Center by a Recruiting Center system administrator. The users must try (but will not succeed) at least once to connect to the Scheduling Center for the to be able to grant them a role. A user will only be able to successfully connect to the Scheduling Center once he/she has been granted a Calendar Role.

A Calendar Owner, an Administer Calendars, and an Administrator can grant the following types of Calendar Roles:

The same user can have different roles for different calendars.
Mark Arrived/No Show	A Mark Arrived/No Show user can only indicate if a candidate has arrived or not for an appointment. The Scheduling Center has a level of access which allows a user to read data in the system and to record whether candidates arrived for their appointments or were “no-shows.” These users may be greeters or reception desk workers who are employed by the recruiting company. A user that has been granted a Mark Arrived/No Show role has all the permissions of a read-only user and can also mark in the calendar if a candidate has arrived to an interview or if he/she did not show up.

Candidate Self-Service Level

The candidate permission set for the calendar determines what candidates will be able to perform when signing in to the Scheduling Center.

During a requisition process, a candidate can receive an invitation to book an appointment. Candidates can access the Scheduling Center only if they have received an email with an invitation to book an appointment. Depending on the permission set for the calendar, candidates can perform several functions such as book an appointment, schedule later or decide they are no longer interested.

A Scheduling Center Administrator can set for a calendar the access level candidates will have when accessing the Scheduling Center. Permissions are linked to the calendar, not to the candidate. When a candidate signs in to the Scheduling Center, the candidate is granted the permission level set for the calendar being used to manage appointments.

There are three levels of candidate permission an Administrator can set for a calendar:

Full: When signing into the Scheduling Center, the candidate will be able to fully manage his/her appointments that is, cancel, reschedule, book, decline.
None: For the self-service integration type, the candidate will only receive an initial invitation. When signing into the Scheduling Center, the candidate will only be able to view his/her pending invitations. Users will be unable to manage appointments. For the proctored integration type, no invitation email is sent to the candidate. The user with a Schedule Appointments, Administer Calendars, Calendar Owner or Administrator role will need to manage candidate appointments. The candidate will receive a reminder email confirming the appointment booked by the user.
Only Cancel Appointments: When signing into the Scheduling Center, the candidate will only be able to cancel his/her appointments. The user with a Schedule Appointments, Administer Calendars, Calendar Owner, or Administrator role will need to manage candidate appointments.
