authorizer
One who sanctions
An authorizer is someone who grants permission or approval for something to happen.
The term appears most often in bureaucratic, financial, and technical contexts: The authorizer signed off on the expense report.
In education policy, an authorizer is an entity—often a state agency or school board—that approves and oversees charter schools.
