Yetkisiz

Yetkisiz is a Turkish adjective meaning “without authorization” or “without permission.” It is formed from the noun yetki, meaning authority or permission, and the suffix -siz, which denotes absence. The term is commonly used to describe actions, access, or individuals that operate without proper authorization or contrary to established rules.
