The Inbox has two role permissions:
The Inbox permissions in a custom role: View own items and View all items

Defaults

  • Only the Admin role has the Inbox by default, both permissions included. The built-in Recruiter and Evaluator roles don’t.
  • Built-in roles can’t be edited. To give recruiters the Inbox, create a custom role with the access they need plus Inbox: View own items, and assign it to them. Add View all items for people who should see everyone’s items, such as a team lead.
  • Ticking View all items ticks View own items too, and unticking View own items unticks both.
Set this up in Settings → Team → Roles and Permissions. See Permission & Access Control for how roles work.

What else they need

  • Opening candidates needs Sessions: Can read. Give it to anyone with the Inbox.
  • Deciding from the Inbox needs Decisions: Can set, and resuming Alex from Mark complete needs Sessions: Can edit.
  • People only see candidates on jobs their role can read. A role limited to some jobs (for example by label) sees only those jobs’ items, in Mine and in All.

Hand-offs and addressed items

  • Hand-offs go only to people who can use the Inbox and can see the candidate’s job. Teammates without Inbox: View own items, or whose role doesn’t reach that job, aren’t in the hand-off list.
  • A Reply needed item is addressed to whoever paused Alex only when they have the Inbox. If they don’t, it still shows in Mine for everyone on the job.

Settings → Inbox

Only admins (anyone with Global Settings: Can manage) can open Settings → Inbox, where recording is turned on and off. Inbox permissions don’t give access to it. See Set up the Inbox.
