Narrative:

From XXX called and requested an authority/authorized for reference purposes for this aircraft. I informed him that it was not available/applicable to issue from my planning screen in maintenance computer. Later that evening; he called and said they complied with it and were going to hand write it on their final summary. The next night the 700 maintenance controller asked if I knew anything about them; asking to clear with the authority/authorized. I brought him up to speed and he informed me that this authority/authorized was not applicable to this aircraft for line number. The mechanic and lead in ZZZ should have read the paperwork thoroughly for effectivity prior to attempting to accomplish the task.
