Sanctioned (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

official

approved

'sanctioned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for official that I've seen before include "It's no rumour - he's in charge" , "Public employee" , "Employee of bureaucracy - it's authorized" , "One is in a position of authority" , "executive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
