The first step in setting up your Vincere account is to add users to the system and configure their accounts. This ensures each user has access only to the parts of the system they need.

📌 Note: You must have Administrator permissions to perform these actions.

  2. Click User Management.

On this page, you can view the following details for each user:

To filter users:

  • Toggle between Active and Inactive using the filter at the top right of the screen.


Add New Users

Update User Roles

To change a user’s role:

  1. Go to User Management and select the checkbox next to the user.

  2. Click the three-dot menu (…) at the top right, then select Update User Role.

  3. Choose the new role from the dropdown, then click Save.

⚠️ Important: If you see a “Brand is required” pop-up: This happens because the Brand field in the user’s Organizational Settings is mandatory.

  1. Click on the user’s name to open their profile.

  2. Scroll to the Organizational Settings section.

  3. Use the dropdown to assign the user’s role.

  4. Then, select at least one Brand to allocate to the user.

  5. Save your changes.

Once a brand is assigned, you can successfully update the user’s role.


Configure User Responsibilities

User Responsibilities determine what areas of Vincere a user can access.

Responsibility

Description

Administrator

Full access to all system areas, including Admin Settings, User Management, Field Configuration, and Export functions.

Director / Manager / Consultant / Resourcer

To access responsibility settings:

  1. Go to Settings, then Admin Settings.

  2. Under General Settings, select Organizational Settings.

  3. Go to Application / Candidate Sources to review and manage responsibilities.


Configure User Permissions

Once you’ve added a user and assigned responsibilities, you can configure what actions they can perform:

  1. Go to the Permissions tab at the top of the screen.

  2. Review the list of available permissions.

  3. Tick the checkbox next to each permission to grant access.

  4. Click Save to confirm.

📌 Note: Permissions can be customized beyond the defaults for each role.

  • Reserve Administrator access for key personnel only.

  • Reassign or deactivate users who are no longer active to free up licenses.
