Corrected entry: In one of the final sequences, when Picard initiates the self destruct sequence, Worf uses his authorization code to ratify the self destruct command. How could Worf be a commanding officer of the ship, with authority to destroy the ship? At the time of the movie, he was in command of the Defiant, and not a crew member of the Enterprise, let alone a commanding officer. (01:23:40)

Correction: You don't have to be a commanding officer of the ship or even one of the ship's crew. As long as the ship's computer recognizes the person's authority, the computer will follow instructions. Remeber that in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, NO ONE is officially a crew member of the Enterprise as it is scheduled to be decommissioned. However, after stealing the ship, Kirk, Scotty and Chekov are able to activate the self-destruct because the computer recognizes their authority.
