Settings is the area of BrightMove where administrators manage company-wide configuration, access, and system behavior.
This area may sometimes be referred to as the Control Panel, but for users, it is generally referred to as Settings. This article uses Settings exclusively to avoid confusion.
While Recruiters, Hiring Managers, and Administrators all have access to a Settings area, generally only administrators can configure company-wide settings and restrictions.
How to Access Settings
To access Settings:
Click your avatar in the top-right corner of BrightMove
Select Settings
Administrators will be taken to the Settings screen shown below, which includes both Personal Settings and Company Settings.
Understanding Personal vs. Company Settings
Personal Settings (All Users)
All users may see a Personal Settings section, which can include options such as:
My Profile
Email signature
Security questions
Two-factor authentication
Alerts and personal preferences
What users can view or manage here depends on their role and company preferences.
Company Settings
The Company Settings section is where company-wide configuration and restrictions are managed. These settings control how BrightMove behaves across the organization and apply to all users.
Access to items within Company Settings is determined by your role and your company’s configuration. Depending on how your system is set up, non-administrative users may see all, some, or none of the options described below. Administrators typically have the broadest access because they are responsible for managing company-level configuration.
What Can Be Managed in Company Settings
Company Settings may be used to manage areas such as:
My Company
Edit company-level details like addresses, phone numbers, and offices.Employees
Create, edit, and deactivate employee accounts. Assign security roles and office access.Hiring Manager Access

Important Notes for Administrators
Changes made in Company Settings affect the entire organization and can significantly impact user access and system behavior.
Proceed with care when modifying these options.The options visible within Company Settings vary by user and are controlled by security roles and company preferences.
While some users may have visibility into certain Company Settings, administrators are typically responsible for making changes that affect the entire organization.
