Last updated on: 2026-05-26 | Updated by: MAGNI Docs Team
The Product Checklists — Authorization page allows administrators to control who has permission to access, fill out, and submit specific product checklists. By configuring these settings, you can restrict checklist access to qualified personnel and manage collaborative draft-sharing options.
Page Sections
Authorization & Draft Sharing Settings
This section contains the top-level controls for enabling authorization requirements and draft sharing on the selected checklist.

- Require Authorization Checkbox: When checked, only the specific users selected in the "Authorized Individuals" table below will be allowed to access and complete this checklist. If unchecked, the checklist is accessible to all users with standard checklist permissions.
- Enable Draft Sharing Checkbox: This option becomes available only when Require Authorization is enabled. When checked, authorized users can share in-progress drafts of the checklist with other authorized team members for collaborative completion.
- Show Locked Draft Submissions Button: This button only appears if there are active, locked draft submissions associated with this checklist. Clicking it allows administrators to view and manage these locked drafts.
👤 Role Restriction: These settings are only editable by users with administrator update permissions. If you do not have the required permissions, these options will be disabled.
Authorized Individuals
This section appears only when the Require Authorization checkbox is enabled. It allows you to search for and select the specific users who are authorized to use this checklist.
- Toggle Selected Button: Located to the left of the search input, this button filters the list to display only the users who are currently selected/authorized.
- Search Input: Type a user's name or username to quickly filter the list of available users.
- All Checkbox: Selects or deselects all users currently visible in the list.

You can sort the table by clicking on the Username, First Name, or Last Name column headers.
