The Authorisations module is where you can view the details of an authorisation including the associated property and outlet, the usages recorded for the authorisation and the parties who can create orders and enter metered usages.

# What is an authorisation?

An authorisation is an association between a property and an outlet. It is used to track orders and water usages so that water orders can be delivered to the correct outlet and authorised by the correct party, and so that usages from outlets can be charged to the correct property.

# Creating an Authorisation

An authorisation is created automatically when you connect an outlet to a property in either the Network Editor or the Properties module.

# Authorisation names

By convention, authorisations are named by combining the outlet name with the property name in the form:

*Outlet-Property*
