User Roles (Candidate Experience)

Assign user roles to manage permissions and control data access across your Starred account.

From the Colleagues section, Admins can assign, edit, and customize user roles to define what each team member can view and do in Starred.

Available User Roles

Starred offers the following user roles to match your organization's structure.

Each role comes with a default set of permissions, which you can customize to fit your organization’s structure.

Admin

Leadership

Recruiter

Recruitment Coordination Manager

Recruitment Coordinator

Recruitment Marketeer

Recruitment Operations Manager

Sourcer

Team Lead

Managing User Role Permissions

For each role, you can fine-tune access rights and visibility within the platform.

To** configure permissions**:

  1. Go to the Colleagues section.
  2. Click Edit next to the role you want to modify.
  3. Adjust the permissions, journey access, and data policies as needed.

Permission Configuration Options

User Role Access Rights

Define what users with this role can do — for example, manage surveys, view dashboards, or send invitations.

Journey Type Restrictions

Control which journey types each role can access.

  • Grant access to all journey types
  • Selected journey types only — e.g., “Hired,” “Rejected,” “Interview” Example: Allow Recruiters to view Candidate surveys, but restrict Hiring Manager insights to Team Leads.
Data Access Policies (DAPs)

Create role-based Data Access Policies to define what data each user can see. These apply automatically when users are added or removed from roles.

Example: Limit a recruiter’s dashboard to only show survey responses related to candidates they manage.

How to configure:

  1. Enable “Limit data access for this role.”
  2. Select the relevant field (e.g., RecruiterApplication).
  3. Choose “Full name” from the right-hand menu.
  4. Create a rule matching the recruiter’s name in your ATS with their name in Starred.
Bespoke Dashboard Access

Control whether this role can view custom dashboards (Bespoke Dashboards) by toggling access in the permissions list.

📊 This helps you share advanced dashboards only with specific groups, like leadership.

Sub-Dashboard Permissions

Sub-dashboards show aggregated insights separate from individual survey dashboards. Assign these dashboards to specific roles by selecting which sub-dashboards each one should access.

Example: Assign to recruiters only the "Main" dashboard and the Priority Matrix. Assign the "Platform Usage" section only to Admins, etc.
