Authorizations provide an extra layer of security for some account management functions. The Security Officer for your account can appoint authorizers, who are designated account users with permission to approve or deny certain account requests such as funding. When an authorizer has been assigned to a particular function, all requests must be approved by the authorizer. You can assign two authorizers to a function: a primary and a secondary authorizer if your organization requires two levels of authorization. Authorization setup is essentially a two-step process: first, a Security Officer specifies the number of required authorizers for specific account management functions (such as funding requests), then the Security Officer either designates existing account users as authorizers or adds new account users and designates them as authorizers.
