User Roles & Permissions

Nova uses role-based access control with five roles. Manage your team from the Team page in your dashboard.

Roles

Owner	Full access to everything: features, settings, integrations, billing, and team management
Admin	Same as Owner, except no billing or invoice access
Accounting	Billing, invoices, and usage tracking only. No access to Nova features or candidate data
Recruiter	All Nova hiring features (jobs, scoring, analytics, talent search). No settings or team management
Viewer	Read-only access to jobs, candidates, scores, and analytics

*Admins can manage non-Owner and non-Admin roles only.

From the Team page, click Invite Team Member, enter their email address, select a role, and send. The invitation link is valid until used.

Owners can change any role. Admins can change Recruiter, Viewer, and Accounting roles. Changes take effect immediately.

You cannot remove or demote the last Owner on an account. This prevents accidental lockouts.

Can I have multiple Owners?

Yes. You can assign the Owner role to multiple team members. However, you cannot remove or demote the last Owner.

What happens when I remove a team member?

They lose access immediately. Their past actions (scores posted, criteria changes) are preserved.
