Reusing the Header Parameter

I need to add the Authorization parameter to every endpoint in my document. To avoid repetition, I did create a `parameter` section in the `components` as the following and linked it at the required place:

components:
 parameters:
 authorization:
  name: authorization
  in: header
  description: ''
  required: true
  schema:
   type: string
   example: '<your_api_key_token>'

 

But then I get a message that reads "Header parameters named Authorization are ignored..." Is there any way to solve this. Please bear in mind that the limitation I have is I need to add the Authorization  information in every endpoint and I have some 100 endpoints.
