What's New:

  • Dynamic User Groups: Admins can create groups that automatically include users based on attributes like Department, Business Unit, Location, Job Role, or any custom attribute. Membership updates automatically as attributes change - no manual intervention needed.

  • Group-Based Permission Assignment: Permissions can be assigned to User Groups instead of individuals - enabling centralized access management, eliminating repetitive assignments, and reducing onboarding/offboarding effort.

  • Dynamic Membership Evaluation: The platform continuously evaluates attributes to auto-grant or revoke access as users meet or leave group conditions, keeping permissions aligned with org structure and reducing stale access.

  • Granular Access Criteria for Role Permissions: Admins can define advanced, context-aware access criteria within role permissions across multiple data domains (position, candidate, employee attributes, and more).

  • Multiple Group Memberships: Users can belong to multiple groups simultaneously, with permissions combined across all groups - ideal for cross-functional roles and complex org structures.

  • Improved RBAC Scalability: Designed for large enterprises with frequent org changes, regional complexity, and high employee turnover - replacing manual permission maintenance with policy-driven automation.

How it works: Administrators define User Groups using configurable conditions based on attributes like Department, Location, or Job Role. The platform automatically evaluates users against these conditions, adds matching users to the group, and grants them the associated Role permissions and Access Criteria. As user attributes change over time, group membership is continuously re-evaluated and updated — no manual action required.
