User roles

There are three user roles a team member can have: Owner, Admin or User.

Owner

  • By default, the person who creates the company is the Owner.

  • The role can be transferred to another team member.

  • There can only be one Owner per company.

  • The Owner cannot be deleted from the company.

  • The Owner can access all job openings in the company.

  • The Owner has all permissions and their permissions cannot be removed.

  • The Owner is the only team member that can request to cancel the account.

Note: If your company’s Homerun account was created before March 11th, 2022, the account doesn’t have an Owner. The Admin(s) with all permissions manage the account.

Admin

  • Admins can access all job openings in the company.

  • By default, new Admins receive all permissions. These can be adjusted by team members with the Team management permission.

  • By default, Users who are promoted to Admin do not receive additional permissions, but they will have access to all job openings. Their permissions can be adjusted separately.

User

  • Users can only access jobs if they are on the hiring team.

  • By default, new Users only receive the Job post editor permission. Team members can assign permissions to users if they themselves also have that same permission.

Permissions

Alongside their role, Owners, Amins and Users can have a selection of the following permissions:

Career page editor

Allows the team member to edit the career site in the career page editor.

Job post editor

Gives access to the job post editor for the jobs the team member is assigned to and allows team members to create and publish new jobs.

All candidates

Gives access to all candidates in the account. This includes the Candidate page where they can view candidates outside of the job(s) that the team member is assigned to.

Billing details

Gives access to the Billing page to view invoices, change credit card details and change the invoice address.

Team management

With access to the Team management page, team members can:

  • change the permissions for other team members

  • invite new team members

  • delete existing team members

Note: Team members can only change permissions for other users if they themselves also have that same permission.

Sensitive information

Team members with the sensitive information permission can add and view sensitive information on a candidate profile. With this permission, it's possible to only give a select group of team members access to some information. Currently, this permission is limited to the team notes. This means that if you want to share information with only a few team members in the hiring team, you can do so by sharing this information in a sensitive note.
