So Where Are We Now?

Now that we've gone through the required permissions for each of our four users, let's organize our thoughts by summarizing them in the following table. In the rest of this chapter, we'll figure out how we can use the platform to implement these rules in our Recruiting app.
Table 1. Summary of Required Permissions
Recruiter Hiring Manager Interviewer Standard Employee
Position Read Create Edit Read Create Edit* Read (No min/max pay) Read (No min/max pay)
Candidate Read Create Edit Read* (No SSN) Read * (No SSN)
Job Application Read Create Edit Read Edit (No lookup fields) Read *
Review Read Create Edit Read Create Edit Read ** Create Edit **
Job Posting Read Create Edit Delete Read *Create *Edit *
Employment Website Read Create Edit Delete Read

* Only for those records that are associated with a position to which the hiring manager/interviewer has been assigned

** Only for those records that the interviewer owns

When implementing the security and sharing rules for your own organization, it's often useful to create a required permissions table like this to organize your thoughts and make sure you don't forget to restrict or grant access to a particular user. You'll see that we're going to refer back to this table again and again as we go through this chapter.
