Companion Customization Authorization not available

Question

Hey everyone,I took a break from the game for about a year, but recently got the itch to jump back in.&nbsp;I'm playing with a preferred player status and mainly want to enjoy the story, which kinda includes using companion customizations.I remember there used to be an option to buy the authorization for those through the Cartel Market, but I can't seem to find it now—and not being able to contact support due to my account status is pretty frustrating.Does anyone know if that authorization is still available somewhere else, or if it’s just on a rotation in the CM?Thanks in advance!
