Role-based access in TAM

TAM supports role-based access to various features.  As initially configured TAM includes four roles: Administrator, Recruiter, Manager, and Interviewer.  Each level is granted access to those features in TAM which fit the user's role.

To view/edit access levels go to Admin, Users, then click on User Roles.  Only a user with Administrator access can make changes to User Roles.  Shown here are the settings for the default access levels.

 

  1. The Administrator role is fixed. You cannot rename this role, and an Administrator always has access to every feature in TAM; access cannot be removed for any feature.  You can have as many administrators as you desire, although usually you want to limit the number of admins, as they can change any company setting.
  2. "Recruiters" are usually users who cannot change company settings or user accounts, but they can create/edit/post positions, and they usually have access to every applicant in TAM. However, you can limit Recruiters' access if needed. This role is just a suggestion from TAM. You can rename it as you wish and change the access features as you wish. You can even ignore this role.
  3. "Managers" are by default granted access only to positions assigned to them, as well as all applicants in that position. This role is just a suggestion from TAM. You can rename it as you wish and change the access features as you wish. You can even ignore this role.
  4. "Interviewers" have limited access to TAM, and can usually see only those applicants assigned to them for interviewing purposes. This is a free account which you can assign to as many users as you wish, but their access to the features in TAM is limited.

 

You may change any of the access features for any role simply by checking/unchecking the corresponding box.  Make sure to click Save at the bottom when you're finished.

To create a new access level simply type in the name of a new role at "Add new access level", select an existing role to copy the initial settings from, then hit Add.

Then check on/off the features you want for the new role, and hit Save.  You can create multiple Recruiter levels, multiple Manager levels, however you wish.

To assign a user to a role click on the Edit toggle button and then simply select the desired Role from the pull-down.

 

Pricing & Tiers

Your TAM subscription is setup either as a Package with unlimited users, or a "By usage".

With an unlimited users package you may add as many users as you wish, and at any role.

With a "Bill by usage" subscription you may incur additional monthly charges based on the usage in TAM that month.  Administrator/Recruiter accounts (Tier 1) are typically charged at 2x the rate of Manager accounts (Tier 2). (Interviewer accounts are free).  If any role, as configured in your system, includes any of the features marked by *, then it is considered a Tier 1 account and charged at the higher rate.  When you add a new user account TAM will prompt you if that account will entail additional charges.
