Chain Authorisation (Ketenmachtiging)
With chain authorisations you can log in on behalf of your clients using eHerkenning. You can easily request chain authorisations directly from the Self Service Portal by registering as a company admin free of charge.
At Digidentity you only pay for the chain authorisation itself, regardless of the number of services or employees making use of it.
What are Chain Authorisations?
With a chain authorisation eHerkenning from Digidentity, you can be authorised to log in on behalf of your clients for various (government) services. For example, this includes applying for permits, submitting tax returns, and reporting absenteeism due to illness. You can manage these authorisations with eHerkenning.
The self-issuing and management of eHerkenning chain authorisations is straightforward with Digidentity and can be arranged in just a few minutes. You will gain access to our secure and user-friendly Self Service Portal, where you can manage and oversee all authorisations.
What is the difference between eHerkenning Authorisations and Chain Authorisations?
The difference between a standard eHerkenning authorisation and a Chain Authorisation lies in the login relationship. With a standard eHerkenning Authorisation, you log in on behalf of your own organisation, requiring a separate eHerkenning credential for each employee and entity.
With a Chain Authorisation, employees can log in on behalf of another organisation using eHerkenning, for example, as an intermediary. In this case, the intermediary first requests the Chain Authorisation from the eHerkenning provider. They then submit an authorisation request to the client, who subsequently grants the Chain Authorisation through their own eHerkenning provider. The eHerkenning administrator of the intermediary can subsequently assign the Chain Authorisation to all employees who already have eHerkenning.
Requesting a Chain Authorisation in steps
The intermediary starts by becoming company admin in just a few minutes from this page.
Already have eHerkenning level 3 or higher? Skip the identity verification and request the company admin role directly in your company SSP.
Intermediaries request chain authorisations easily from the SSP.
They select the portals needed and send the authorisation request to each client's email address.
Clients receive a link to complete a similar registration, where they verify their identity and organisation representation to become company admin for their own organisation.
This is free of charge.
Clients review the portals requested by the intermediary within the same registration flow.
If they accept, the chain authorisation is issued instantly from their company to the intermediary company.
Once the Chain Authorisations are issued, the intermediary company admin can grant colleagues access to log in on behalf of each client in the SSP.
Each colleague requires an eHerkenning credential at the assurance level of the relevant portal.
