I need your help clarify

Rev 20:4a

  KAI EIDON QRONOUS KAI EKAQISAN EP' AUTOUS
  KAI KRIMA EDOQH AUTOIS

What is basis of understanding KRIMA as 'authority of judgment' as in
most of English translations?  (I wonder what would it mean by it.
Are they supposed to judge people such as those dead ones as in 20:12?
  The saints may be priests but do we have any text supporting them to
be judges?) Is this understanding from Greek itself or from
(scholarly) opinion?

Someone suggested it as 'judgment on them which is for their favor'.
This seems plausible.
