Outstaffer platform has three distinct user roles—Owner, Hiring, and Finance—each tailored to ensure secure access to only the necessary data and features required for their specific responsibilities. This structure protects sensitive information while maintaining a streamlined experience for users, allowing them to focus solely on their relevant tasks without risking access to areas beyond their scope.

Owner

The Owner role grants full control over the platform, including managing company settings, user permissions, and financial data. Owners have comprehensive access, enabling them to oversee all aspects of the system and make high-level decisions.

Hiring

The Hiring role is focused on recruitment and team management. Users in this role can access job listings, manage candidates, and view staff profiles, but they do not have access to company settings or financial data.

Finance

The Finance role is tailored for managing financial operations such as payroll, budgets, and expense approvals. Users with this role can view financial reports and handle employee compensation but are restricted from recruitment processes and broader company settings.

The table below provides a detailed breakdown of the permissions associated with each role, so you can understand exactly what each user can access and manage within the platform.
