Greetings Fighters of An Tir,
The Authorization Database migration team has been hard at work putting back all of the authorizations that had been performed over the last year and lost in the ransomware attempt.
We are very excited to tell you that we are done! All of the backlogged authorizations are now updated in the system! Everyone should check out their authorizations and reach out if there are any missing that you should believe should have been entered. If you emailed them to the authorization officer in the last month then she may still be processing those.
Going forward, you can enter authorizations through the system. They will go into the “Awaiting Kingdom Authorization Officer Review” status. The Kingdom Authorization Officer will be checking all of these to make sure that everything is in order and then marking them as approved. Sending in paper applications is also still an option but it will be a slower process since it takes a few more steps.
We appreciate all of the feedback we have already received about the website, especially any bug reports. Every new system has kinks that need to be worked out and we are doing everything we can to address them as quickly as possible. You should expect to see small improvements regularly for the next month or two. We are trying to push out a weekly bug fix patch every Wednesday, though will move faster for critical issues. If there are any bugs you find, or features you would like to suggest, please visit the roadmap page (https://authorizations.thebusinessduck.com/roadmap/) and fill out the form or you can message Feradach directly.
Finally, we will be hosting an online zoom event on Saturday June 13th at 6:30pm. We will release the link to join closer to the event (to prevent it being scraped). This will be a chance for people to ask questions about the system and how the authorization process will work going forward.
Thank you all for your understanding and patience while we adapted to the abrupt changes.
