What a user can see and do in their Lever environment is dictated by their role. In turn, roles are provisioned with permissions corresponding to the objects and workflows in each part of the platform. Lever has five preconfigured roles: Super Admin, Admin, Team Member, Limited Team Member, and Interviewer.

Sensitive Information Privileges (SIP)
Lever's Sensitive Information Privileges (SIP) allows for flexible and granular permission-gating of your most sensitive hiring data. These Privileges can be flexibly scoped on a per-user basis. They allow a user to view specified types of Sensitive Information on candidate profiles that are associated with jobs within specified departments, team, locations or individual job postings.
You can also grant specific users one-off access to certain secret objects during the process of making those objects secret. Admins, Team Members, and Limited Team Members can also see hired candidate profiles if they are the owner or hiring manager of the posting the candidate was hired for.
