as such

In that capacity

As such is a phrase that means "in that capacity" or "in itself." When you say someone is the manager and as such has authority to hire, you mean their position grants them that power.

It also emphasizes something's essential nature: The plan as such is sound, but the timing is wrong.

In casual speech, as such often functions as a hedge meaning "exactly" or "strictly speaking": There's no rule as such, but it's generally understood.
