Valtuutuksessa

Valtuutuksessa is the inessive form of the Finnish noun valtuutus, meaning authorization, mandate, or power of attorney. The term describes the state or condition of being granted authority to act on behalf of another person or organization, or the act of operating under that authorization. Etymologically, valtuutus comes from valtuuttaa (to empower, authorize) with the noun-forming suffix -us and the case ending -ssa (-ssä).

In practice, valtuutuksesta appears in legal, administrative, and business language to denote both the status of being authorized and the conditions under which one can act. It is commonly used to refer to documents, permissions, and procedures that authorize someone to represent another party, sign documents, or make decisions. For example, a company may operate under a valtuutus that specifies who can sign contracts, and the validity or duration of the authorization is often described in such texts.

Valtuutus is closely related to related terms such as valtakirja (a specific written authorization or power of attorney), valtuutettu (the person who has been authorized), and edustus (representation). While valtuutus is the general concept of authorization, valtakirja is typically the concrete document granting the authority, and valtuutettu refers to the person exercising it.

Notes on usage: valtuutuksesta can indicate the legal basis for acting on another’s behalf, the scope of the authorization, and its temporal validity. In digital or corporate contexts, valtuutukset may be used to grant access or authority to systems, accounts, or processes, subject to revocation or modification.
