Inside job I'd denied, as ordered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bidden

'ordered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inside job i'd denied' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'BIDDEN' can be found hidden inside 'job id denied'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for bidden that I've seen before include "Asked" , "Ordered (to)" , "Commanded (to do something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
