Override an authorization cycle

It is possible for administrators to override an authorization cycle part-way through and authorize selected documents or all documents in the Document Registry. This is useful in cases where an authorizer is removed from an authorization cycle before they have authorized it, thereby holding up the promotion of a document or set of documents, for example if an authorizer is on holiday or on sick leave.

Note: This option is only available to administrators.

1.From the Documents menu choose Document Registry.

2.Find the document that you want to override the authorization.

3.Click the document(s) to select it.

4.From the Manage menu choose Authorization and then Override Authorization.

5.Enter your password and provide a reason for overriding the authorization cycle.

6.Select the scope of documents to authorize.

All Documents will override all documents in the Document Registry (if they are awaiting authorization).

7.Click OK.
