1. Log into Authorize.net and view the "Suspicious Transaction Report". Click on the transaction you want to approve or deny and click the appropiate button.
   
2. Log into your website's CMS (if setup) and view the "Suspicious Transactions" under the payments screen. This will show the transactions and you can approve or deny as needed.
