# Sign the authorization of an agent-filed case, for the facts as they are now. Only while the case is a draft (409 \`invalid_state\`); 409 \`not_agent_filed\` for any other case. Signing again replaces the earlier signature

`POST /v1/cases/{id}/authorization`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.evictionsapi.com`
- URL: `https://api.evictionsapi.com/v1/cases/{id}/authorization`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - HTTP bearer

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `signerName` string, required
  - `signerTitle` string
  - `accept` true, required

## Response `201`

The signature.

- Signature: A signature the owner just gave. The IP address it was given from is kept only as a hash, and is not shown.
  - `id` string, required
  - `kind` 'authorization' | 'complaint', required
  - `textVersion` string, required
  - `signerName` string, required

## Other responses

- `400`: The request is invalid.
- `401`: The credential is missing or invalid.
- `403`: The credential is not allowed to do this (`forbidden`). For a signed-in session: `permission_denied`, the person's role in the organization lacks the permission this needs (ask an owner); `no_organization`, the person belongs to no organization yet (start one with `POST /v1/me/organizations` or accept an invitation).
- `404`: Not found.
- `409`: The request conflicts with the current state: for a case, it is not in a state that allows this, or its details were erased (`erased`); for an API key, a limit or the key in use.
- `422`: The case did not pass a check.
