3: Setup the organisation

Once your organisation has completed the connection to MitID Erhverv, the organisation administrator will receive an e-mail with a link to the setup flow.

First step is for the organisation administrator to log in with her/his private MitID. It is to prove the identity to MitID Erhverv.

It is important that all users and administrators can be identified securely and unambiguously through a login.

The login information is only used to identify the person. The information is not shared with the organisation or saved.
The organisation administrator will subsequently have to choose how users in the organisation should be able to login.

The organisation administrator will have to decide on:
  1. Should your users generally be able to use their private MitID when they act digitally on behalf of your organisation? Then the user only needs one MitID. The organisation's data and the user’s data are completely separate when a user uses their private MitID on behalf of the organisation
  1. What separate MitID authenticators does the organisation make available to users if a user wants to have one MitID for private use and another for business purposes? MitID app is pre-selected when you set up your organisation in MitID Erhverv. If you want to make other MitID autenticators available to your users e.g. code display, audio code reader or chip, you can select them in MitID Erhverv after the setup has been completed

The organisation administrator must then choose how the person wants to log in in the future.
  1. With private MitID e.g. the MitID app used for private use. Then the administrator only needs one MitID. The organisation's data and the user’s data are completely separate when a user uses their private MitID on behalf of the organisation
  2. With a separate MitID. The user then has one MitID for private use and another MitID for business use
In the setup flow, the organisation administrator can choose a MitID app as separate MitID. If you want to use a code display, audio code reader or chip after setting up MitID Erhverv, it can be selected under settings in MitID Erhverv.
Finally, the organisation administrator must approve the setup. The organisation now has MitID Erhverv.

The organisation administrator can now log into MitID Erhverv.

4: Activate users

If you have imported users and administrators from NemID medarbejdersignatur to MitID Erhverv before the 1st of november 2023, the users can be activated. Only after the users are activated are they able to login on behalf of the association.

Under ‘Imported Users’ in MitID Erhverv, the user administrator can view all imported users and is able to:

  1. Activate the user individually by clicking on the user and choose how they should be able to login (e.g. with private MitID or a separate MitID)
  2. Activate all or several users simultaneously by selecting the users and choose how they should be able to login (e.g. with private MitID or a separate MitID)
  3. Delete users who do not need to be activated in MitID Erhverv

Users who are not activated will remain under the ‘Imported Users’ page until they are activated or deleted.

After activation, each user receives an activation e-mail.
After the user administrator has activated the users, each person must activate their user in MitID Erhverv.

The user has received an e-mail with an activation link and will have to user their private MitID the first time they have to login.

If the user administrator has chosen that the user can login with private MitID, the user must now approve or reject this. If the user administrator has chosen that the user can login with a separate MitID e.g. a MitID app, the user must also activate this.

Once the user has been activated, the user can act digitally with the selected type of MitID e.g. MitID app on behalf of the organisation.
