# Shard Authorization

Cregis Wallet allows you to authorize shards to other wallet members and their devices, enabling them to perform transaction signing on your behalf. Note: Currently, multisig wallets can only authorize shards to your other devices, not to other wallet members.

## **Shard Authorization Process**

### Cregis Desktop

1. Navigate to the Wallet Details page.\ <br>

4. You can select the wallet member and their device you wish to authorize, or choose "Any Device," meaning the member can use any device to receive the shard authorization.

   * **Note**: Multisig wallets do not support authorizing shards to other wallet members.

7. After successful verification, a one-time authorization passcode will be generated. Please copy it and provide it to the member for import on the designated device.\ <mark style="color:green;">**Recommendation: If the current device will no longer be used, it is recommended to delete the shard from the current device after completing the authorization.**</mark>\ <br>

When selecting a device, you will be able to see all devices that members have used to log in. After choosing the desired device, decide on the authorization duration and click "OK".

After confirmation, a two-factor authentication (2FA) is required. Upon successful verification, remember to **copy the passphrase** and provide it to the authorized member for shard import.

## **Authorized Member's Process**

### Cregis Desktop

After the shard owner completes the above steps and generates the passcode, the authorized member can log in using the authorized device.<br>

1. After logging in, switch to the team where the authorized shard is located.<br>

2. Enter the one-time passcode generated by the shard authorizer.<br>

### **Cregis Mobile**

The authorized member simply needs to switch to the designated team and enter the wallet page. A verification prompt will automatically appear, requesting the passphrase. After entering the correct passphrase and completing password authentication, the shard will be successfully imported.
