Consultant types

A consultant can be one of three types:

  1. Executive – Has full access rights within the account.
  2. Standard – Access rights are set using permission groups.
  3. Service – A bot consultant for internal automation, this needs to be set by your YouRecruit administrator

We recommend setting only one person as an executive and setting this as standard with specific permission groups to the remaining users.

Consultants permission groups

Permission group sets what a standard consultant can do. Global groups that are always available are as follows:

Permission group Permission description
Executive
  • Has full access rights within the account.
  • This includes creating, modifying or deleting users.
Manager
  • Can perform all functions within the Temp Manager module. 
  • This includes setting roles, rates, creating, modifying or deleting employees and organisations. 
  • Can do all that is permitted by Finance users.

  • Can do all that is permitted by the Timesheet Coordinator and Compliance Administrator.
Timesheet Coordinator
  • More restrictive user type, has more limited permissions.
  • Can view, edit and approve timesheets. 
  • Can also upload timesheet files and expenses.
Compliance Administrator
  • More restrictive user type, has more limited permissions.
  • Can review and approve employee compliance
  • Can view, edit and approve compliance items for employees that are assigned to them.
  • If the company has the Users see all employees setting enabled, then they can manage all compliance.

If you are unsure which pemissions to choose, we would suggest assigning the consultant type to standard and permission group to general.

If none of the groups match the permissions you will require an Executive consultant to create a new one. To do this, navigate to the Permissions Groups list through the top right button on the List of the consultants page. Then hover over the permission group that is closest to the one you need (we recommend finding the closest group with lower permissions) and click the magnifying glass. At the bottom of the page click the Save as new button to create your custom Permission Group. This new group will have the Custom type, which will be visible only within your own company. Initially it will be named as Name of Original Group Clone

You can edit this group to rename it and change its permissions. Note that before you can start editing the permissions you have to click on the Enable Edit button in the top right submenu.

Note that some permissions have relations between each other, specifically:

  1. Require parent permission (will be added automatically when child permission is selected).
  2. Overrides specific permissions. The overridden permission will have a green checkmark instead of a checkbox.
  3. Conflicts with specific permissions. The conflicting permission will have an orange icon instead of a checkbox.

Additionally on the Permissions Group Edit page you can click the Permission Group Entities show button in the top right submenu to see who has the group assigned to them.

Permissions Groups Compare

To quickly see which permissions each Permission Group has in comparison to other groups, you can use the Permissions Groups Compare page which is found via the Permissions Groups list in the top right submenu.
