## **eLinking Errors**

#### **eLink Errors and Resolutions**

Error: **You are not authorized to take this action**

Issue: A user gets the error message You are not authorized to take this action when they attempt to open the link to view or edit a req that was eLinked to them.

**Cause**: The user’s user type does not have access to view or edit reqs that they do not have a ‘my req’ relationship to. The user’s user type had access to view ‘My Reqs’ but not ‘All Reqs’.

**Resolution**: The user must be added to the req team to be granted the "my req" relationship or the user type must be updated to allow all users to view all reqs, regardless of the "my req" relationship. The resolution depends on your organization's recruitment process and policies.

1. To allow users to view or edit all reqs, add the appropriate Reqs user privileges to the user. For more information on adding user privileges, see User Type Management.
2. To add the user to the req team, in BrassRing access the req, and select Edit. Add the user to the req team field and select Save. For more information on accessing reqs, see Access and Initiate Reqs.

Error: **You don’t have privileges for editing this form**

**Issue**: A candidate gets the error message You don’t have privileges for editing this form when they attempt to open the link to complete, view, or edit the Application form (candidate form) that was sent to them.

**Cause**: The QuickStart user type (candidates are considered QuickStart users) does not have access to add, edit, or view the specific form that was sent to them.

**Resolution**: To resolve, the form attributes must be edited to allow the QuickStart user type to be able to add, edit, or view the form.

1. In Workbench, access candidate forms by selecting **Tools** > **Forms** > **Candidate Forms**.
2. Select the **Edit form attributes pencil icon** for the form.
3. In the **Add/View/Modify My** section select the **QuickStart** user type.
4. Select **Save**.
