Frequently Asked Questions
How many companies can I link?
Guards can have active links to as many companies as they want. However, only two (2) pending requests are allowed. That means guards will have to wait for one of those companies to accept a request before they can make another.
Can I cancel a link request?
Yes, a guard can cancel a link request at any time. Simply log into your Guard Boss account, click the “Companies” link in the main navigation, and delete the request. Companies can reject a request through the request management page.
Can I delete or unlink a company?
Yes, a guard can delete a link at any time. Deleting a link will not remove any courses the company has assigned or affect the guard’s account in any way. Similar to canceling a request, log into your Guard Boss account, click the “Companies” link in the main navigation, and delete it. Companies can delete links through the guard management page.
