Setting Up User Permissions

Once you have set up your provider credentials, you will need to make sure the users you want running background checks have the correct permissions. In order to do this, you will need to have access to the Security Groups section of system settings. We recommend setting this information up at system or subsystem level to make it easier to include the users you are looking for. 

There are 2 permissions that you can grant related to Background Checks: 

• Can Edit Background Checks - allows users to create and edit background check requests
• Can Read Background Checks - allows users to review and search for background check requests and their current status

To Find Security Group Permissions: 

1. Navigate to  menu in the upper left
2. Select Security Groups
3. Select Permission
4. Either: 
   • Add users to any group that already has this permission(s) OR
   • Create a new group with the permission(s) checked and add users to it (remember that users can only be part of one permissions group and will inherit all the permissions that you check.

For more information, check out Beyond - Managing Security Groups.
