# Members and Permissions > Control access to your company, jobs, and hiring workflows with customizable permission sets. ## Permissions overview Dover lets you assign permissions at both the **company** and **job** level. You can use the built-in permission sets or create custom permission sets to give users exactly the access they need. Company permissions determine what a user can do across your organization. Job permissions determine what they can do on individual jobs. Users typically have one company permission set and one job permission set for each job they're assigned to. ### Company permissions are managed in permissions | Page | Purpose | | --- | --- | | **Settings → Permissions** (`/settings/company/permission-sets`) | Create and manage company and job permission sets. | | **Settings → Members** (`/settings/company/members`) | Assign company permission sets to members. | ### Job-level permissions are managed in job settings When you create a job, or are added to the hiring team as a hiring manager or recruiter, you start out with job admin permissions that include the "Manage hiring team" that enable you to add members to the hiring team and assign their level of permissions. --- ## Company Permissions Company permissions determine what a user can do across your organization.
