This article provides instructions on how administrators can enable team members to update their own profiles in candidate.fyi. Granting users the ability to manage their personal information is an important aspect of maintaining an up-to-date and accurate organizational directory.
Overview
In candidate.fyi, there's a specific setting within the general settings that allows team members to access the platform for the sole purpose of updating their own profiles. This feature ensures that users can keep their personal and professional information current without granting them broader access to the platform's functionalities.
Enabling the Setting
To allow users to update their own profiles, follow these steps:
Navigate to General Settings: The option to enable user profile updates is located in the general settings of candidate.fyi. Access this area as an admin to modify platform-wide settings.
Toggle "Allow Users to Update Own Profile": Look for the setting labeled "Allow Users to Update Own Profile." Toggle this setting to "Yes" to enable the feature.
Effects of Enabling the Setting
Once enabled, the setting automatically adjusts user access in the following ways:
Approved to Login: All team members are set to "Approved to Login," meaning they can access the candidate.fyi platform using their credentials.
Role as "Non-Approved Member": Despite being approved to login, their role within the platform is set as a "Non-Approved Member." This is a specific designation that limits their access to the platform.
Profile Update Capability: Non-approved members are granted the ability to update their own profile. This includes personal information, contact details, professional summaries, and any other profile-related fields available in candidate.fyi.
Restricted Access: It's crucial to note that non-approved members cannot access or interact with any other part of the candidate.fyi platform. Their permissions are strictly confined to updating their own profile information.
