Position Permissions are the permissions set on a position level. Permissions control the level of autonomy given to users for that shift.

The positions permissions are displayed like this:

Unrestricted, Restricted, Closed

The three main categories of position permissions are Unrestricted, Restricted, and Closed.

Unrestricted = Any user can claim or request a shift in this position, regardless of their qualifications

Restricted = Only a user who is qualified can claim or request a shift in this position

Closed = No one, regardless of qualifications, can claim or request a shift in this position. An admin must manually fill any position with this permission

User Qualifications / Approved Positions

In order for users to qualify for a certain position, the position must be added to their “Approved Positions” section within their user settings.

To learn more about user qualifications: [link to user qualifications page]

Once a user has a position in their “Approved Positions” field, they’ll be able to claim or request positions with the “Restricted” permission.

Locked, Unlocked

The two subcategories of permissions are locked and unlocked.

Locked = Users have to request a shift and get it approved by an admin before they occupy that position

Unlocked = Users can claim a shift and they will occupy that position immediately
