This research aims to identify the definition and context of the disadvantages of misuse of authority in the administrative decisions by descriptive and the analytical approach. Being hidden and difficult to prove, it is one of the most prominent disadvantages that may affect an administrative decision. Apparently, the administrative decisions may appear right and according to law, but have a hidden disadvantage of misuse of authority. Misuse of authority helps achieve personal, vindictive or other interests, violating the principles of legality and equality. Misuse of authority occurs when the government administrator violates in its decision the purpose specified by law or the legislator . Misuse of authority harms the public order and the rights of individuals, and therefore the administrative judge may raise it on his own. Controlling the issuance of administrative decisions, and their issuers, to issue an administrative decision contrary to the purpose set by the law or allowed by the legislator will help prevent this practice.
