Authorizations pillar

Authorizations turns a known identity (Collect) into a right to operate followed over time: issuance, renewal, conditions, evidence.

Entry plan: Professional (PREMIUM) — licences (+ often invoices). Obligations ride this cycle (and remain useful for self-regulators even without a public approval).

Configure the catalogue (types, sectors), workflows, instruct cases, set obligations, message, decide (grant, defer, refuse, renew).

  1. Start from a known identity (or complete it).
  2. File an application on a licence type.
  3. Follow stages and answer document requests.
  4. Once authorized: meet My compliance (deadlines, evidence uploads).

The public does not issue licences; it can verify the actor via the Collect registry if you publish status.

  1. Define authorization types and workflows (who validates what, in how many days).
  2. Operator files from Entity (or an agent opens the case).
  3. Multi-stage instruction + messaging.
  4. Decision → optional registry publication.
  5. Open periodic obligations (filings, evidence, controls).
  6. Renewal / change / suspension as events unfold (including regulation follow-up).

Getting an authorization is not the end of the cycle. Obligations let you:

  • surface deadlines (Entity sees the calendar);
  • collect evidence (documents, reports);
  • feed oversight and, for self-regulators, link to GRC.

In self-regulator mode you can use HQ obligations even without an external licence catalogue: that is internal compliance for members / sites.

SELF_REGULATORInternal clearances, rights to operate in the network, member compliance

Same screens; intent and labels adapt.

  • Not on Essential (except complaints, which sit under the Licences menu without being licences).
  • Official gazette / advanced DMS: not the current core.
  • Without the licences module, GRC and Collect remain usable (especially self-regulator).
