A sister trope to the Deconstruction Crossover, this is what happens where a parody or deconstruction uses an official character from an earlier work with permission from the original creator. Often, but not always, this will be The Film of the Series.
May be an example of The Man Is Sticking It to the Man. Compare with Parody Assistance (the original creators help with the parody) and Self-Parody (the original creators are entirely responsible for the parody).

Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, while the very title notes that it is an unofficial ("Hikonin") Super Sentai, it is produced by Toei, the same company behind the Super Sentai franchise. It includes cameos from previous Super Sentai characters... though they're only in AkibaRed's mind. It's also Hotter and Sexier, and comes with a disclaimer telling the "good kids" who normally watch Super Sentai to stay away.

The Community episode "G.I. Jeff", which parodies G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, was officially approved by Hasbro and thus features the logos, music, and characters from the cartoon, as well as Michael Bell and Bill Ratner reprising their respective roles as Duke and Flint.

Starship Troopers is a Deconstruction version, although it's more like Heinlein's novel was chosen as an outlet to satirize Patriotic Fervor and militarism, than that it was an attack on the novel itself.

Family Guy Presents: Laugh It Up, Fuzzball and Robot Chicken Star Wars, both endorsed by George Lucas. (This was before Disney buying the franchise; for whatever reason, Family Guy hasn't done any Star Wars jokes since the Disney buyout.)

The 1930s series of Bulldog Drummond movies had one where Drummond is injured in a car crash and Jack Pennington (played by comedian Jack Hulbert) is forced to stand in for him. It is considered part of the official series.

Appearances of DC characters on the MAD television series can be seen as authorized, as the show is run by DC Comics. Mad even got a slot on DC Nation. (This could theoretically apply to the magazine as well.)
A Scooby-Doo segment the show did also qualifies as this, as Warner Bros. owns both entities and used the Scooby gang in their official color schemes.

In the detective novel Ask a Policeman, the participating authors swapped detectives (so Lord Peter Wimsey was written by Anthony Berkeley, while Berkeley's detective Roger Sheringham was written by Dorothy L. Sayers).

Critter-Tek, the funny animal parody of Battletech from Crunchy Frog Enterprises, was licenced by FASA and included an actual Battletech record sheet. A sticker on the cover said "Approved by FASA! Or at least they promised not to sue!"

The modern OSS 117 films produced by Gaumont and starring Jean Dujardin are James Bond/Tuxedo and Martini parody movies based upon a series of French spy novels that were adapted into films in The '60s (also produced by Gaumont back then). It definitely gets into Deconstruction territory, as the protagonist is a jingoistic jerk and the movie shows him and his superiors as completely clueless of the public opinion in Europe's former colonies.

Doctor Who has The Curse of Fatal Death, produced by The BBC and written by Steven Moffat.
The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot started as a fan film from former Doctor Peter Davison, but it became an official part of the 50th anniversary celebrations when Steven Moffat found out about it. In addition to being credited as an executive producer, Moffat plays himself as the villain of the piece.

The Casino Royale film of the 1960s, although it isn't canon in the sense that it was not made by Eon Films. And in a slightly more serious note, Never Say Never Again.
