Permissions
See what company and job permissions allow, use the built-in permission sets, and create your own custom sets.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Dover has two kinds of permissions. Company permissions decide what a member can do across your whole account, such as inviting people or managing billing. Job permissions decide what a member can do on one job, such as moving candidates or seeing feedback. Each is given as a permission set, a named group of permissions.
- Assign a member’s company permission set in Settings → Members. See Members.
- Assign job permissions to a member on each job, in Job Settings. See Job settings.
- Create and manage the sets themselves in Settings → Permissions. The page has a Company list and a Job list.
If you don’t see Permissions in Settings, contact Dover support to have it turned on for your account.
