Before we move on to how to use the Alva integration in Jobylon, let's review the different permissions available in the integration and how to manage them.

In Jobylon, there are two Alva Permissions that need to be enabled for users to access the integration: Can see partners’ data and Can send candidates to partners and manage job configurations.

If you'd like specific users to automatically have these permissions, reach out to your Jobylon point of contact, who will assist you in setting this up. This will save you time by avoiding the need to manually assign these permissions user by user.

Additionally, this integration now supports hiring team sync, meaning that any hiring team assigned to a job where the integration is configured will automatically have access to Alva's platform. This feature is enabled by default. If you prefer not to have this feature active, contact Alva to disable it.
