How to Manage Roles and Permissions (Org Admin vs. Recruiter)
Rakesh · August 5, 2026 · 6 min read
FastHire has two roles: Org Admin and Recruiter. Every organization always has at least one Org Admin — the system won't let you remove or demote the last one.
What only an Org Admin can do
Invite, remove, and change the role of teammates, and turn their outreach seat on or off (Settings → Team)
Edit the organization's Company info in Settings → Profile — name, industry, size, website, logo, address, and LinkedIn page (Recruiters can see these fields but they're disabled)
Manage billing: select or change the plan, add or replace the card on file, buy extra credits, and cancel the subscription
Configure interview reminder settings, view Analytics, and generate API keys under Settings → Developer
What every Recruiter can do, regardless of role — Searches, Lists, Outreach sequences, Interviews, Inbox, the AI Agent, Connections (each person connects their own LinkedIn/email account), LinkedIn sending limits, and Archived sequences are open to everyone on the team. A Recruiter can also view Settings → Billing (plan, credits, invoices) but every action button there is disabled with a note to ask an Org Admin.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between an Org Admin and a Recruiter? An Org Admin can manage the team, the organization's shared settings, and billing. A Recruiter has full access to the recruiting workflow — sourcing, outreach, interviews, inbox — but can't change teammates, company info, or billing.
Can there be more than one Org Admin? Yes — promote as many teammates to Org Admin as you like from Settings → Team.
Can I remove or demote the only Org Admin? No — promote someone else to Org Admin first. The remove and demote controls are disabled for the sole remaining admin.
Do Recruiters need a seat to use outreach sequences? Yes — activating outreach sequences requires an enabled "seat," which is separate from role and capped per organization. An Org Admin turns seats on or off per person in Settings → Team.
