Permission sets vs licenses

Permission sets

Permissions control the pages you can access and the actions you can perform in Quinto. We bundle permissions in sets so you can easily provide access to groups of users. There are two types of permission sets. Regular permission sets are for viewing content. This includes the following permissions:

• Manage my account

• View help

• Collaborate on jobs

• Access jobs

• Access job requirement libraries

• Access interview templates

• Access org chart

• Access my team

• Access profile

• Access job match

• Access reviews

No permission is required to participate in a survey or sign off on a job description.

Admin permission sets are for creating content and managing Quinto, so they include many additional permissions. We offer the following default permission sets, but you can create as many as you need for your organization. You can also assign multiple permission sets to a user to grant additional access.

Access summary

The Access summary on a user’s account page shows labels that reflect the access granted by the permissions in their permission sets. Most permissions grant Regular user access, while certain permissions grant Platform admin access. Platform admin isn’t a separate license type; these users are still counted once under Regular users in your license totals on the General administration page. The Access summary is only showing which access a user has based on their permissions. The following permissions will add a Platform admin label to a user’s Access summary:

• Export org chart

• Manage job requirement libraries

• Export competencies

• Manage account

• Manage communications

• Manage locations

• Access audit logs

• Access analytics

• Features administrator

• Users administrator

• Log in as other users

• Permissions administrator

Additional licenses

Licenses track the seats used in your site. All active users have a Regular user license by default. Quinto automatically assigns additional licenses based on permissions. Refer to the table below to learn which permissions grant these licenses.
