Special Roles in Recruitera allow admins to control what each user can access inside the system. You can update role names, adjust permissions, duplicate roles, or delete roles to keep your structure organized and aligned with your hiring workflow.
This article explains how to manage and edit any existing role.
To Manage a Special Role
Go to Settings < Special Role from the left navigation menu.
Select the role you want to update.
Browse through the permission categories (General, Workflow, Features, Company, Add-ons).
Toggle any item ON or OFF based on what the role should access.
All users assigned to that role will instantly inherit the updated permissions.
Tip: Changes are system-wide. Adjust carefully when editing active roles.
To Edit / Delete a Special Role
Go to Settings → Special Role.
Select the role you want to update.
If needed, click the More (⋮) menu to rename the role.
Best Practices
Review roles every few months to keep permissions aligned with team changes.
Duplicate existing roles instead of building new ones from scratch.
Keep role names simple and clear (e.g., Sales Hiring Manager, External Interviewer).
