**`note`** this method is of type [ProcedureMethod](https://github.com/PolymathNetwork/polymesh-sdk/blob/docs/beta/docs/interfaces/proceduremethod.md), which means you can call [issue.checkAuthorization](https://github.com/PolymathNetwork/polymesh-sdk/blob/docs/beta/docs/interfaces/proceduremethod.md#checkauthorization) on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

**Parameters:**

▪ **args**: *object*

| Name     | Type      | Description                         |
