Customers using our candidate and client portals who want to improve their security. This also applies to customers using our APIs to upload documents into MSR.

The benefits at a glance

  • Prevent unwanted or risky files from entering MSR.

  • Define which file extensions are allowed, such as pdf, docx, jpg, and more.

  • Applies to all uploads on the candidate and client portals, such as CVs, cover letters, and documents for vacancies or checklists.

  • Also applies to our API endpoints for document creation and job applications.

Feature explanation

A new setting in Custom Settings → Portal Settings allows you to specify which file extensions are permitted.

  • If the setting is left empty, the behavior remains unchanged, and all file extensions are allowed.

  • If a user uploads a file with a non-permitted extension, the upload will be blocked.

Set-up

    In Custom Settings → Portal Settings:

    • Enter the field Allowed file extensions (e.g., pdf,txt,rtf,doc,docx,xls,xlsx,png,jpg,jpeg).

    • Note: enter the list comma-separated, without spaces.
