Job Importer Role

The Job Importer role is designed for team members responsible for creating new jobs at scale and populating them with subject data and images inside Captura Workflow, the heart of the Captura connected ecosystem.

This role is intentionally narrow and purpose-built. It enables speed and accuracy during bulk setup—without granting unnecessary access to pricing, orders, or administrative settings.

Why this matters

Job imports are often the first step in a season. Getting them right—and limiting access to just what’s required—prevents downstream errors and rework.

Job Importers need enough access to:

• Create job shells

• Bring subject data and images into Workflow

They should not manage job configuration, pricing, storefronts, or orders.

This role is about input, not decision-making.

Allows users to:

• Generate new jobs via the import process

• Create job shells programmatically or in bulk

Why this matters

Without this permission, users can upload files—but can’t actually create the jobs they belong to.

Creating the job isn’t enough—the user also needs access to the import tools inside the job.

Allows users to:

• Access the Import tool while inside a job

• Import subject data and images

Why this matters

This toggle activates the tool itself. Without it, imports can’t be executed—even if other permissions are set correctly.

To save imported files, the user must be allowed to write data into Workflow.

Allows users to:

• Create new subject records

• Populate jobs with imported student or participant lists

Why this matters

Imports fail silently if users can’t write subject data.

Allows users to:

• Add images to subjects

• Save imported photo files

Why this matters

Image imports require explicit write access—view-only permissions aren’t enough.
