The form can appear in various inflected forms, for example ickeautoriserad, ickeautoriserade, depending on grammatical gender and number.

Etymology and usage notes

The word is formed from the negation prefix icke- combined with autoriserade, the past participle of autorisera. In formal and bureaucratic language, ickeautoriserade is used to label things that should not be sanctioned or permitted without authorization. It frequently appears in policies, security guidelines, procurement rules, and compliance documents, as well as in everyday descriptions of unauthorized software, access, or activities.
