User Type Permission

User type permissions grant users access to specific features and contexts in a product or application.

Permissions are organized by functional domains (core products):

  • Recruiting

  • Integration

  • Configuration

  • Performance

  • Grid

  • Compensation

  • Learning

  • Reporting and Analytics

  • Mobile

  • Common

Functional domains are then separated into sub-domains. Depending on the amount of permissions in a sub-domain, permissions may be grouped into sections. When permissions are grouped into sections, system administrators can select the desired section in a drop-down list and quickly see the permissions grouped in that section.

The table shows an example of how permissions are organized in a functional domain.

Functional domains are displayed in bold when permissions have been granted. Also, the Expand All button allows system administrators to see at a glance all domains, sub-domains and permissions granted to a user type.

If a system administrator modifies the permissions associated with a user type, the changes affect all users who have been assigned the user type.

For a list of default user types and their default permissions, refer to the document entitled Default User Types and Permissions.
