veto authority
Official blocking right
Veto authority is the power to reject or block a decision, proposal, or action.
The term appears in governance contexts—constitutional systems where executives can veto legislation, or organizational structures where certain parties hold blocking rights: The Security Council's permanent members have veto authority over resolutions.
Having veto authority means others cannot proceed without your approval.
