The list of Authorized APs includes the APs that an authorized device is permitted to associate with. APs can be added to the list automatically (for example if the AP is active on the current host or its availability partner) or manually.
Re-categorize an AP as Authorized, to protect it from an unwanted countermeasure when there is a non-authorized AP with a problematic SSID (an External Honeypot) in the vicinity of the authorized network and you want to exclude the AP from an undesired counter attack.
