authorisation
Granted right to
Authorisation is the British spelling of authorization—the act of granting permission or official approval for something to proceed.
It refers both to the process of approving and to the document or credential that proves approval: You'll need written authorisation from the department head.
In computing, authorisation determines what actions a user is permitted to perform after their identity has been verified.
