Allowing or Restricting a User from Changing Record Ownership

The Owner field on a Person, Company, or Job Order record will always default to the person who was responsible for entering that record into the database. However, that field can be changed and updated if necessary (for example, if a Job Order needs to be assigned to a different recruiter) and if the corresponding permissions are granted.

By default, all new users have access to edit the Owner field on any Person, Company, or Job Order record within your Top Echelon Recruiting Software database. Click here to learn how to change record ownership
