Alpha Four Seven Authorization is required to open a Security Channel to Starfleet Command. ([[TNG]: "[[Genesis]]")
The '''command authorization code''' (or simply '''authorization code''') is an alphanumeric sequence used by [[militaries]] to allow access to certain command protocols and restricted information.
 
   
In [[Starfleet]], the style of [[code]] varies from decade to decade. In [[2365]], the code was a long sequence of numbers, letters from the [[human]] [[Greek]] alphabet, and [[Earth]] colors. By the following year, the code standardized to a form used from that point on. Typically, this would involve the user's name, Greek letters, and numbers. Codes are changed on a regular basis, to prevent [[sabotage]] and [[security]] breaches.

"Computer, send a subspace message to Starfleet command... security channel, authorization..."
[[Doctor]] [[Kila Marr]] isolated the access code of the [[science station]] on the [[bridge]] of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|USS ''Enterprise''-D]] thereby making it impossible to turn off the [[graviton pulse]] that was destroying the [[Crystalline entity]]. ({{TNG|Silicon Avatar}})

[[Cardassian]] authorization codes are somewhat customizable in that high-ranking [[officer]]s can add additional security checks to restrict use of their [[security clearance]]s. [[S.G. Dukat]] added several such subroutines to his [[counter-insurgency program]] aboard [[Terok Nor]]; when [[Elim Garak]] attempted to imitate Dukat to shut down the program, it constantly challenged Garak to prove his identity. When Dukat later decided to shut down the program, however, he discovered that one of his superiors had altered the program to prevent Dukat from escaping in the event of a [[Bajoran]] revolt.
