No, each user must enable passcode and biometrics for their own device. If this is an important feature for your organization, please let us know by providing your feedback.

The "Lock automatically" setting determines after how long the SafetyCulture mobile app locks itself. Either from your screen being locked, the app being force closed, or the app being minimized in the background.

If you've forgotten your passcode for your SafetyCulture mobile app, you can remove it by tapping Forgot your passcode? on the lock screen, and follow the instructions to log in to your SafetyCulture account.
