Whether you can see the Pipeline tab, and what you can do in it, depends on your access to candidates on the job.
The core rule
If you can see candidates on a job, you see its Pipeline tab. If you can't, the tab doesn't appear in your tab bar at all for that job.
What each role can do
Capability | Admin | User with candidate visibility | User without candidate visibility |
See the Pipeline tab | Yes | Yes | No |
Move candidates (drag, dropdown) | Yes | Yes | No |
Bulk Move Stage / Disqualify | Yes | Yes | No |
Bulk Add to Sequence | Yes | Yes | No |
Customize Kanban cards and table columns | Yes | Yes | No |
Reposition the tab in Layout Settings | Yes | With Layout Edit permission | No |
For Admins: positioning the tab
You can move the Pipeline tab to a different spot in the tab bar from Layout Settings. Changes auto-save and go live for everyone when you click Publish.
Repositioning is the only change available for this tab. It can't be hidden or disabled, and you can't add or remove cards on it.
Where it doesn't appear
The Pipeline tab isn't shown on the Client Portal or the External Recruiter Portal.
Things to know
A job with no candidates still shows the tab, with both counts at 0 and an empty state.
Personal choices like view, card fields, and columns aren't permissions. Everyone with access can set their own.
