What each role can do

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Think of each role as a strict superset of the one below it in its scope. Owners and Admins are near-identical company-wide roles; the one line between them is billing. Editors do the hands-on recruiting work on the jobs they're given; Observers can see and discuss but not change anything.

Owner

  • Create and manage all job listings.
  • Invite and manage team members.
  • Access company settings and analytics.
  • Full administrative control — billing, plan management, all settings.
  • Receives credit (token) low and empty notifications.

Admin

  • Create and manage all job listings.
  • Invite and manage team members.
  • Access company settings and analytics.
  • Receives credit (token) low and empty notifications.
  • (No billing/plan management.)

Editor

  • Edit and share the job listing (for the specific jobs they're given access to).
  • Process and review candidates.
  • Create and manage new sharing channels.

Observer

  • View and comment on candidates.
  • View and comment on the job post.
  • No editing or candidate-moving capabilities.

Owner vs Admin — the practical difference. They are the same role in day-to-day use: both create jobs, invite people, and reach company settings and analytics. The single distinction is that Owner controls billing and the plan, and Admin does not. Make trusted operators Admins, and reserve Owner for whoever owns the subscription.

Editor vs Observer — who can change the search. An Editor does the real recruiting work on their jobs — editing the listing, moving candidates through stages, and spinning up sharing channels. An Observer is read-and-comment only: perfect for a hiring manager or panellist who should weigh in on candidates without being able to move them.

Good to know. Both Owners and Admins receive the credit (token) running-low and out-of-credit alerts, so a search never stalls silently for lack of a heads-up. The full breakdown of which alert goes to whom lives in Notifications; how credits work is covered in Billing & subscription.
