To an extent, flag officers can have our equivalent of that responsibility here on earth to my understanding. If you present an expired (or even just "unusual") credential to the guard post, they're gonna want to clear it with the base commander or similar authority first, and on an imperial battlestation the size of a moon ("the empire's pride and joy" somewhat akin to Yamato or Bismark), I'd *expect* it to be a flag officer making that call.
