Recruiting: Replacing Admin Users and User Statuses

Describes how to replace Admin Users and User Statuses.

REPLACING USERS AND STATUSES

  • In Recruiting, your company is permitted an unlimited number of Standard Users. However, the Admin and Staffing users are licensed through Recruiting. If your team needs to add an additional Admin/Staffing User, contact Recruiting Support.
  • To remove a current user as an Admin/Staffing user and free up an additional license, you can reassign the existing Staffing/Admin user as a Standard User. If this Admin/Staffing User is leaving your company, you must change the user's status to Inactive from their User profile screen.
  • If that option is grayed out as shown in the example here, this is because the user is currently assigned as a Hiring Manager on a number of positions. To Inactivate that user and free up the additional Admin/Staffing license, you must remove them from any positions they are assigned to as a Hiring Manager.

Important: If you are changing who the current Admin user is, you must update your Approval Managers. See these articles for instructions on updating Approval Managers:

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOCKED, INACTIVE, AND DELETED USERS

Here are the differences between LockedInactive, and Deleted users: 

  • Locked Users: Cannot login. Other than that, they function like any other user. You can add them to jobs, etc. A user is typically locked when you want to train someone before they access the system (e.g. our support team locks entire companies until they are trained)
  • Inactive Users:
    • Inactivating a user is like a soft delete.
    • When you inactivate a user, they do not appear in user lists anymore. For example, when you create a job and select a hiring manager, the list contains only locked and unlocked users.
    • To inactivate a user, remove them from any currently active jobs. This is almost always preferred to deleting someone.
  • Deleted Users:
    • Removes them from the system.
    • You still see comments that they posted on jobs/candidates, but if you open the job you do not see them assigned to a job anymore.
    • Deleted users do not appear on reports.
