Authorized users for submitting background checks

Administrators can submit background checks by default. Staffing Users and Standard Users can also get this permission through your integration settings. You can choose specific users to have this ability.

• By default, Standard Users can only select Request a Background Check. 
  • This sends a notification to the administrator to submit the background check to your provider.
  • This does not send anything to your background check provider.
• Standard Users can be allowed to submit background checks, but this change affects all Standard Users. 
  • Contact Recruiting Support if you would like this change.
