Flexible User Roles

Last updated: March 5, 2026

HackerRank for Work enables administrators to manage user-level access using the Flexible User Roles feature. This feature provides granular control, allowing administrators to customize user entitlements based on organizational requirements. Flexible user roles help organizations improve productivity and efficiency while maintaining secure administrative oversight.

Key features

The flexible user roles offer the following features:

Align user roles with workflows: Customize user roles to match specific responsibilities and processes, ensuring each user has the appropriate level of access and capabilities.
Granular access control: Manage user permissions precisely to protect sensitive data and maintain compliance with security policies.
Adapt to change: Adjust user entitlements easily as business processes evolve, allowing your organization to accommodate new requirements or role changes without operational disruption.

Entitlements

Entitlements define the actions that users can perform within the platform. They control activities such as viewing, creating, updating, and deleting tests, interviews, and questions.

Note: HackerRank offers four types of user roles. For more information about these roles and their default entitlements, see Types of User Roles.
