User Roles and Permissions

Guide has four preconfigured roles that can be assigned to users: Admin, Manager, Member, and Interviewer.

šŸ¦øšŸ½ā€ā™€ļø Admin

Admins have full access in Guide. Most importantly, they can set up and manage integrations to the Guide account.

šŸ‘©šŸ»ā€šŸ’» Manager

The Manager role is very similar to Admin with one key distinction - they cannot set up or manage integrations. This role is typically assigned to recruiting operations team members who will set up and manage Guide for the recruiting team.

Inviting and Managing Users

Admins and Managers are able to invite, remove, and manage users. To view and manage users, navigate to the user menu here or click on your profile image in the upper right of app.guide.co and select Organization Settings > Users.

Below we've outlined the steps to do several common actions when managing users in Guide.

Invite a new user:

  1. Click on the "Invite User" button in the user menu.

  2. Enter one or more email addresses of the people you want to invite. If adding multiple people, separate emails with a comma.

  3. Select the appropriate Role. If adding multiple people, you can only select one Role.

  4. Click the "Submit" button.

  5. The invited users will receive an email from Guide inviting them to sign up.

Update an existing user:

  1. Find the user you'd like to update in the user menu. You can search by name or email, or scroll the page.

  2. In the Role column, select the current Role to open the dropdown.

  3. Select the Role you'd like to set for this user.

  4. The user's Role is now updated!

Allow users to sign up without an invitation

If youā€™d like, you can allow your team members to sign-up without an invite, making it easy for them to access and get started with Guide. Admins and Managers can update these organization configurations. This can be helpful if you want all of your interviewers to sign in and update their profiles at any time without needing to invite them.

Follow these steps to allow access to Guide without an invitation.

  1. Navigate to the Configuration Menu.

  2. In the ā€˜Associated Email Domainsā€™ section, set which email domain(s) youā€™ll allow.

  3. Check the box next to allow anyone with these email domain(s) to access your Guide instance.

  4. Set the User Role youā€™d like new users to be assigned when they sign up.

To turn this off, uncheck the box.
