Position Permissions Explained
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.
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
