-"Request Personalized Install Authorization" composes a new email to authlist-request@group.apple.com. As with White List, this email address is only reachable from within Apple VPN. This feature allows a factory worker or Apple engineer to request special firmware personalization for their device. This is useful because Apple could order prototypes of unreleased iPhones but refuse to sign any firmware for them. This way, if the devices are lost/leaked into the wild for some reason, the device is [[bricked]]. When prototype phones arrive safely/securely to Cupertino, engineers can have them activated for firmware personalization through this mechanism. It is not known the requests are to permit firmware signing on the public or internal (VPN-only) TSS server.
