Questions from security services managers

Clear answers about what AppyShift supports in the workflow.

Does AppyShift confirm an officer is licensed or approved for a site?

No. Qualification guardrails use the positions, departments, and locations you configure; managers remain responsible for credential and assignment decisions.

Can a manager require approval before a security shift is picked up?

Yes. Pickup requests can be configured for manager review, with optional automatic approval policies available when selected.
