You can manage the authorisations for a representative to act on behalf of:
- yourself; or
- a business or volunteer organisation that you have already been authorised to administer in the WARAM.
Managing authorisations means you can:
- view the details of an authorisation;
- amend the authorisation end date either to extend or shorten the time of the authorisation will remain in place;
- remove the authorisation; or
- temporarily disable an authorisation. This function is used when you want to prevent your representative from acting on your behalf or behalf of your business but do not want to permanently remove their permission. A disabled authorisation can be re-enabled at any time.
- If you are an administrator for an entity, you can also approve or decline pending requests associated with that entity.
To manage authorisations sent to someone to act on your behalf:
- sign into the WARAM;
- choose “My representatives” on the “My dashboard” page;
- after the “My representatives” page is displayed, choose “Manage authorisations”;
- after the “My authorised representatives” page is displayed, find the authorisation you require;
- you can view the authorisation details, edit, remove, enable or disable an authorisation via the Action heading.
- If you edit or remove an authorisation, the representative will then be notified of the outcome.
