IAM access control

IAM (Identity Access Management) is a joint solution for identity and access management in the university and college sector. The solution manages user accounts that give employees, students and guests access to various IT systems and services.

User accounts for employees and students are created automatically on the basis of data from the payroll system and student system. The IAM portal must be used when ordering extended access.

IAM access control

Student

When you are registered in FS (Felles studentsystem), a user account will automatically be created and you will receive an email when it is ready for activation. 

Extend student account

You will receive a notification by email 30 days before your student account is terminated. Click on the link to the IAM portal in the email, if you want to extend access.

  • Sign in to the IAM access control
  • Select "Catalog" in the left menu.
  • Check the box for "Extend Student Account" and then select "Request" (either to the right or at the bottom).

The extension is automatically granted for 65 days. After the 65 days, the account is automatically terminated. No further notice is given, and it is not possible to extend the student account beyond this period.

Employee

When you join the payroll system, a user account will automatically be created and you will receive an email when it is ready for activation.

  • Student (including PhD) with an active right to study in FS: Connection as a student to the right to study ends.

Manager

Employees who need extended access, for example in FS or Inspera, can order this in the IAM portal. As a manager, you can also order on behalf of your employees.
