3. 10 core/modules/system/system.module \system_authorized_init()

Setup a given callback to run via authorize.php with elevated privileges.

To use authorize.php, certain variables must be stashed in the user's session. This function sets up all the necessary session variables. The calling function should then redirect to authorize.php, using the full path returned by system_authorized_get_url(). That initiates the workflow that will eventually lead to the callback being invoked. The callback will be invoked at a low bootstrap level, without all modules being invoked, so it needs to be careful not to assume any code exists. Example (system_authorized_run()):

system_authorized_init($callback, $file, $arguments, $page_title);
return new RedirectResponse(system_authorized_get_url()
  ->toString());

Example (update_manager_install_form_submit()):

system_authorized_init('update_authorize_run_install', drupal_get_path('module', 'update') . '/update.authorize.inc', $arguments, t('Update manager'));
$form_state
  ->setRedirectUrl(system_authorized_get_url());

Parameters

callable $callback: The name of the function to invoke once the user authorizes the operation.

$file: The full path to the file where the callback function is implemented.

$arguments: Optional array of arguments to pass into the callback when it is invoked. Note that the first argument to the callback is always the FileTransfer object created by authorize.php when the user authorizes the operation.

$page_title: Optional string to use as the page title once redirected to authorize.php.

Return value

Nothing, this function just initializes variables in the user's session.
