Hi,

In Odoo's Planning module, managers maintain full control over shift assignments, even when employees express interest in open shifts. When an employee clicks "I want this shift" or "I take it," it serves as an expression of interest rather than an automatic claim. Managers can then manually assign open shifts to employees using a drag-and-drop interface, or utilize the "Auto Plan" feature for automated assignments based on various criteria. This ensures that managers can make informed decisions about who is best suited for a particular shift, rather than it being automatically assigned to the first responder.
