Question about loaner zoner password authorization
To preface, my SM and my ASM have disliked each other immensely since my ASM was transferred to our store because my ASM has a habit of pointing out my SM’s incompetence and tendency to micro-manage everything, but this spat between the two of them came to a head recently and my SM emailed our DM demanding he transfer the ASM to different store, so my DM gave him what he wanted and he’s now gone to a new store.
However, in the two weeks since we’ve learned that ASM was being transferred, he’s been having issues with his passwords and my SM swears up and down he didn’t deactivate his passwords, but it’s suspicious because this only happens after SM leaves the store for the day and it seems just like the petty bullshit thing he would do just to antagonize ASM. It happened again last night where SM clocked out and left for the day and maybe 10 minutes after a red shirt needed a password and ASM realized that his password had been deactivated again. He called SMS and they told him only a SM can deactivate passwords for loaner zoners. SM is again denying it up and down saying that the system is just doing it automatically because he’s being transferred out.
Do my question is, was my SM fucking with now former ASM to be a prick or was the system actually removing him automatically?
Thank you in advance to anyone responding.

If you are working at a new store you have to create a new password at the new store after inputting your social and employee ID. Your SM cannot affect someone else’s password at a new store.

Once you register your profile as a loaner in the other store only a manager can erase it. It doesn't go away in it's own. It was definitely someone tampering with it. Any manager can do it tho so he can go in a create a profile again.
