Admin - Overview

The goal of Digital Iceland is to develop user driven solutions for organizations to use in their daily operations. The Admin system is a closed portal for organizations where they can manage users and view self-service systems for core products that are developed by Digital Iceland. The organizations will for example be able to make changes to system settings and try out new setups, depending on the specific self-service system.

Access to console

When an organization applies for access to a core product that has a admin system, such as the Digital Iceland Authentication system, the power of attorney for the organization will have access to that system by default. The power of attorney logs in with his/her own electronic identification and then selects on behalf of which organization he/she intends to act. The admin portal shows an overview of all systems available to the organization. The power of attorney has access to user management system and can give other employees access to admin system. Employees can have access control rights, to give other employees access to systems to which they themselves have access.

Instructions for access control

When the power of attorney has given the employee access control rights, that employee will be able to give others access to the admin system to which he himself has access.

Giving others access rights to the system

  1. An employee logs in with their own electronic Id. A list of the organizations that the employee has access to is then displayed.

  2. The employee selects the organization he is going to log in as. He will then see the Admin control panel and all the systems he has access to.

  3. Next, Access control is selected, which opens the access control system.

  4. There, pressing 'New access' opens the access control flow where the user, system and rights are registered
