Team management and account-level permissions
The Team management tab, found in your User menu, is where you can manage your users. From here you can add or remove users, or edit their user role. If necessary, you can also transfer ownership of the account to an admin.
Note: Hiring managers do not have access to the Team management tab, as they are unable to grant permissions to any other users. |
For information about assessment-level permissions, please refer to our article on Advanced user rights.
