# allowsForceQuitKeyboardShortcuts

A Boolean value that indicates whether to allow force quitting apps during an assessment.

```
var allowsForceQuitKeyboardShortcuts: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Users can force quit apps by pressing Shift-Option-Command-Escape to force quit the frontmost app. An assessment session disables force quit by default, but you can allow it by setting [`allowsForceQuitKeyboardShortcuts`](/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration/allowsForceQuitKeyboardShortcuts) to `true` in the [`AEAssessmentConfiguration`](/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration) instance that you use to initialize a session.

> Note: This property controls only the force quit keyboard shortcuts. Setting it to `false` does not remove the Force Quit item from the Apple menu. Use ``doc://com.apple.automaticassessmentconfiguration/documentation/AutomaticAssessmentConfiguration/AEAssessmentConfiguration/allowedAppleMenuItems`` to configure the allowed Apple menu items.
