Authorize a baseline

To associate configuration items (CIs) to a baseline record, you must first authorize the baseline record. After you authorize a baseline record, you can no longer change its attributes, but you can create a new version.

To authorize a baseline, follow these steps:

1. Click Configuration Management > Resources > Baseline.

2. Use search or advanced search to find one or more records.

3. Select the baseline record you want to authorize from the list of search results. ITSMA Service Managementdisplays the details of the selected baseline record.

4. Click Authorized in the Status field.

   Note You can only authorize baseline records that are currently in the Analysis, Design, or Develop states.

5. Click Save. Service Management authorizes the baseline record, and you can now associate CIs to it.
