## Synopsis


Remote authorization. Used to authorize a remote or headless
rclone from a machine with a browser - use as instructed by
rclone config.

Use the --auth-no-open-browser to prevent rclone to open auth
link in default browser automatically.

```

## Options

```
      --auth-no-open-browser   Do not automatically open auth link in default browser
  -h, --help                   help for authorize
```

docs: add a new page with global flags and link to it from the command docs In f544234 we removed the global flags from each command as it was making each page very big and causing 1000s of lines of duplication in the man page. This change adds a new flags page with all the global flags on and links each command page to it. Fixes #3273 2019-06-20 15:18:02 +00:00			`See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.`
