Technically, on her webiste she says that she recognizes no authority but
the Manifestation (Baha'u'llah) intrinsically and all others as reflections
of that.
And in practice what that means is one accepts only ones own
understanding of that Manifestation.

4. Alison is a Bahai, but Susan doesn't approve.
Didn't she disagree with some UHJ decisions, though? It makes no sense to
claim to be Baha'i if you don't support the UHJ, plus it means you don't meet
the qualifications of membership decided by Shoghi Effendi.

That's because in Iran it is dangerous if your name is found

The UHJ determines the membership, and sometimes says that certain
people who apply for membership cannot be enrolled, but it does not
say that they are not Bahais.
That's where you are wrong. In explaining their decision to remove

Friends,
It isn't a question of approval or disapproval. Alison Marshall has been
removed from the membership lists of the Bahai Faith. I don't mean any
disrespect to Alison when I say this, but you may call a donkey a horse, but
that still doesn't make it a horse.

It is not a matter of my approving. As in your case, it is the
Universal House of Justice which determined she was not a Baha'i.
