I understand your question. To clarify: the Attorney-General can make an authorisation that will allow someone to undertake functions of powers in relation to a specific proceeding. Once that proceeding is finalised, the authorisation can allow a person to undertake specified functions or powers. The Attorney-General can also make a standing authorisation to avoid having to remake the same authorisation multiple times.
