MsgAuthorization

An authorization message is used to authorize an address to perform certain actions or operations. For more information on authorizations, visit the Authz module spec.

Example

You can use LocalTerra to run the MsgAuthorization example.

In this code, the following actions are performed:

The test1 (granter) account creates the MsgGrantAuthorization message to grant MsgSend authorization to test2 (the grantee).
test2 creates the MsgExecAuthorized message to send 2000000000000uluna from the test1 account to the test3 account.
