User permissions

Checkr's user roles provide varying levels of access for team members involved in each stage of the background check process.

Assign roles to users

For security purposes, Checkr can't edit user permissions. To edit or add user roles for your account, contact your team's admin. By default, the first user on an account is always an admin.

To manage user permissions, log in to the Checkr Dashboard as an admin. Open the Account settings page. Click the Users tab, and then click Edit in the Roles column.

Depending on the user's role, set one or more of the permissions below. Individual users can have multiple roles, such as adjudicator and requester. To create custom roles and permissions, contact Checkr.
