Configuration Profile

A configuration profile is a set of settings which control how the application behaves for a specific set of users to better fit the user experience.

It is through the configuration profile that different product behaviors can be achieved such as a streamlined manager product experience vs. a more robust recruiter product experience. Users may have the same set of permissions which grant access to specific features, but how a user is presented access to the features is then further controlled by the configuration profile designation.

In addition to user types (which define user access to specific features via permissions and product access) and user groups (which further define access to elements and functions based on Organization-Location-Job Field, users are assigned a configuration profile which defines what they will see in the Recruiting Center.

Configuration profiles are created in SmartOrg. Once created, a configuration profile is assigned to Recruiting Center users via their user account. Therefore, depending on the user signing into the application, elements displayed to the user will vary depending on the configuration profile associated to the user.

Three default configuration profiles are provided:

• Recruiter

• Hiring Manager

• Hourly Manager

System administrators can edit the settings for these default configuration profiles and can also create new configuration profiles. Changes made to a configuration profile are applied the next time a user linked to this configuration profile logs in. For a list of configuration profile settings, see Configuration Profile Settings.

System administrators have the ability to assign a default configuration profile to newly created users. The Default Configuration Profile setting, available under the General Configuration settings, can be used to indicate which configuration profile new users will be automatically assigned. The default configuration profile is automatically assigned only when no configuration profile was manually assigned during the user account creation process. When the setting value is left empty, no default configuration profile is assigned when creating new users. See Assigning a Default Configuration Profile.
