==About Authorizations==
{{ambox|type=content|text=<span style="color:#800000">'''Notice, March 2024 -</span> Confirm authorizations on [[Discord]] first'''<br>
Post pandemic, we're (slowly) updating old authorization info. If there's a <span style="color: SteelBlue ;font-weight: bold; ">blue Authorization Course Info box</span> on this page or a tool's page, the authorization course info in that box should be up-to-date. Otherwise, any other info you find should be considered out of date. Confirm in the appropriate area channel on Discord if the info is correct or not.}}
==What is an authorization?==
[[File:Authorization-required.png|thumb]]
[[File:Sample auth sticker.png|thumb]]
'''Any tool more dangerous than a soldering iron requires authorization before use''', these are marked with an "Authorization Required - Do Not Hack" sticker like the one pictured. Authorizations are how we keep each other safe and maintain our tools for the community, this is why '''authorizations are still required even if a member has prior knowledge of how to use a specific tool'''. ''Be cool, get authed''.


Some areas and machines at PS1 require authorization before use. Authorizations can take different forms including online quizzes, group demonstrations, and individual training sessions. Some authorizations are regularly scheduled, and others are scheduled as-needed. Regularly scheduled authorizations can be found on the [https://pumpingstationone.org/events/ Events Calendar]. To schedule an authorization not found on the calendar, members may post in the Google Group or contact an authorizer directly.
Note that the process for getting authorized varies greatly between different tools/areas, affected by:


==Canvas==
<li> Whether a canvas course exists or not.
<li> How frequently people are interested in a specific authorization. Some are scheduled, some are at member's requests, some are "we haven't done this in awhile".
<li> The authorizer's preferred method of contact.


A growing number of authorizations are being migrated to [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org Canvas], an education platform. Eventually, all authorizations will be found there, including scheduling information and online content as needed. You may log into Canvas using your PS1 account information.
===I want to get authorized, the crash course===
<ol><li>  '''Read''' [[How Do I Get Authorized?]]
<li> '''Find''' the authorization info in one of these ways:
<ul><li> Scan the QR on the "Authorization Required" sticker on the tool, see example above
<li> Search for the tool's wiki page
<li> Or look through the list on this page
<li> <li>
</ul>
<li>'''Follow the instructions in the blue authorization notice box''', see example below
<ul><li> If the blue authorization notice box is missing, ask on [[Discord]] for confirmation the instructions on the page are still accurate</li>
<li>Some authorizations are regularly scheduled while others are by appointment. To schedule a by appointment authorization, members may post in the relevant [[Discord]] channel, or contact a volunteer authorizer directly.</li>
<li>Note that authorizations requiring a Canvas course, only show you the schedule after you complete the course. Even then sometimes (especially Woodshop) the authorizations are booked up for that month.</li></ul>
<li> '''Complete the authorization'''
<li> Required: '''Make something cool!'''
</ol>

==== ShopBot====
There are 2 required classes for complete Shopbot Authorization. The first class is a software-only class to cover CNC concepts and the toolpath and control software. This class is unlimited capacity and generally open to the public. The software-only class is a prerequisite for the second class, the hands-on ShopBot authorization, which will be significantly shortened since it will only cover the specifics of the tool itself.
