# Authorize access to contract

## Overview

Allows the client to (pre-)authorize access to (or remove authorization to access) one of its Smart Contracts (or one of the Smart Contracts for which the client is part) to a remote party. When (if) the remote party requests access to the Smart Contract, the broker will return it automatically, if already authorized. If not authorized, a petition to access the Smart Contract will be sent to the clients of the part of the contract for manual approval.
