View deleted attachments content from tracking history Users with this permission can view the content of deleted attachments in the History tab.

Your organization may decide to not provide access to these deleted attachments which are still visible in the History tab.

If users have the Access Attachments tab permission but not the View other attachments permission, they will not see the Attachment category and associated history items, but they will have access to the Attachments tab showing the job specific attachments.

If users have the View other attachments permission but not the Access Attachments tab permission, they will not see the Attachment category and associated history items, and they will not have access to the Attachments tab.

View offers

The View offers permission and the View and manage offers permission are contextual and a user can have varying levels of access depending on their relationship to the offer. The system will review both permissions and whichever permission grants the greatest access to information will determine whether the Offer history section will appear for the user. For example, a user can view offers without restriction, but can view and manage only offers he owns. The user will see the Offer history on submissions without restriction because this is the highest level access across these two permissions.

If users have the View offers or View and manage offers permission and they are on a requisition that matches the sub-option permission, they will see the Offer category and associated history items.

If users have the View offers or View and manage offers permission, but they are on a requisition that does not match the sub-option permission, they will not be able to see the Offer category and associated history items.

If users do not have the View offers and View and manage offers permission, they will not be able to see the Offer category and associated history items.

View and manage offers For details, see the description for the View offer permission. Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Types > Recruiting > Offers
Access requisition-specific candidate lists

In the Recruiting Center, the Show History for list can present information on all job submissions, on job submissions in selection process, or on a specific job submission. When users select the Submissions in selection process or All submissions option, the list will only include history tracking related to submissions that users are authorized to view. The following permissions and settings will affect the behavior:

If users do not have the Access requisition-specific candidate lists permission, all candidate submission files and requisition-specific candidate lists will be blocked from the users' view. These users can still access lists of candidates from candidate search and candidate folders but from these contexts can never navigate to see anything other than the candidate's general profile while inside the candidate file.

Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Types > Recruiting > Candidates
View candidates in steps whose security level is "Restricted" Users will need this permission to be able to see a candidate that is in a Candidate Selection Workflow step that is restricted. If this permission is not granted, the candidate submission and associated history will not be visible to users. Configuration > [SmartOrg] Administration > [Users] User Types > Recruiting > Candidates
View internal job submissions Users will only be able to see internal candidate job submissions if they are granted this permission.
