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.
