The Authorized metric counts sessions whose user has been authorized through Adobe Pass or TV-Everywhere. Pair with the MVPD dimension to break out authentication volume by provider.

How this metric is calculated

The media backend increments the count when the player flags the session as authorized at session start. The metric is reported on the close call.
