single word requests - Use of "permission" in technical writing

In a request for proposal (RFP) I am attempting to edit the following sentence-fragment which isn't grammatically correct:



"...except for staff permissioned to update..."


My problem is with the word "permissioned." The correct english word is "permission" and it should probably read:



"except for staff with the permission to update..."


That doesn't seem correct for an RFP though.



Is there a better word or phrase to use that conveys the technical meaning of permissions for an IT system?
