Reference: Bulk Updates Permissions

The
Bulk Updates
task requires these permissions:
Permission
Required for
workorder.bulk.update
Access to the
Bulk Updates
task. To remove access to
Bulk Updates
for all, revoke this permission from all roles.
candidate.compensation.read
Data preview for the
Update Pay Rate
action.
workorder.read
worker_tracking.read
Retrieving data to preview the records to be updated.
Any of these permissions:
  • workorder.update
  • workorder.owned.update
  • workorder.modifications.create
  • workorder.owned.modifications.create
Bulk updates using file uploads.

Granting Bulk Update Functionality to Non-Administrator Users

You can make bulk update work order functionality available to non-administrator users by granting those users the
workorder.update
or
workorder.modifications.create
(or less commonly, the
workorder.owned.update
or
workorder.owned.modifications.create
) permission. Use
Security Settings
on the
Company Settings
page to assign permissions to roles.
You must also grant users at least 1 field-level permission to perform specific bulk update actions. This gives you granular control over which bulk actions non-administrator users can perform.
Example: Users with the
workorder.update
permission and
workorder.end
permission only see the option to bulk end work orders instead of the full suite of bulk actions.

Required Field-Level Permissions for Bulk Update Actions

Users with any of the permissions that enable bulk updates using file uploads, must also have 1 or more of these field-level permissions to perform the corresponding bulk update actions:
