    2. Next to Cache, click on the Refresh Button
    3. Wait until the job finishes
  4. Go to Manage Permissions Role > Open the role you want to give this permission > Recruiting Permissions
  5. Select 'Mass Upload Candidate Resumes'
  6. Again go to Manage Permission Roles > Manage Integration Tools > OData API Attachment Import
  7. Go back to Recruiting > Candidate tab, the option should be enabled now and the user will be able to successfully perform the mass upload resumes
