This section allows you to manage participants' authorizations. It depends on which Authorizations you have configured and
4-
enabled by your developers. To understand more what are authorizations and how to configure them, please refer to the

xref:customize:authorizations.adoc[Authorizations section in the Customize Guide].

Authorizations allow to give specific participation rights to participants who have completed a verification process.
4+
This verification process can be direct, have multiple steps, be online or presential.
5+
6+
For instance you can configure that only participants who have verified themselves by their identity documents can vote on
7+
proposals in a specific participatory process.

In the moment that there are some participants verified, an administrator can revoke all the authorizations, as the attributes
22-
that give permissions to those participants could be changed in time and the platform didn't receive these changes in the
23-
participants statuses. For instance, an identity document of a participant could be expired, or if a participant have been
24-
authorized by the "code by postal letter", that participant could move in the meantime.
25+
From the moment some participants get verified with an authorization, administrators can revoke all the authorizations at once.
26+
Indeed, after some time, some of the verifications can be deprecated.
27+
For instance, identity documents expire after some time, or participants can move from a city.
28+
Then, an administrator can want to force participants to renew their verification information.
