Learn what a user administrator can administrate in MitID Erhverv and how.
Guides below are grouped into items you can see in the left menu when you are logged in to MitID Erhverv as a user administrator.
How to find ”Create user”: Menu > Users > Create user
Step 2: Fill in the needed information under “User infor-mation”
In this step, you also decide if the user should be created anonymous-ly. Anonymisation only works on services that use NemLog-in as a broker.
Please note that anonymisation cannot be added later on.
If existing users want to be anonymous, you will as a user administra-tor receive the user’s request via an email and a notification in MitID Erhverv. You must approve the request. Hereafter you must recreate the user – this time with anonymisation.
How to find ”Authenticators”: Menu > Users > Create user > Authenticators
Choose which authenticator the user is allowed to use:
How to find “Organisation”: Menu > Users > Create users > Organisation
If your organisation has several P numbers or SE numbers, you can assign a P number or SE number to the individual user. This will make it easier to manage users.
How to find e.g. “Signature”: Menu > Users > Create user > Signature
There are 3 voluntary fields:
• Rights
• Signing
• Seal generation
For example under "Signature”, you must decide if the user should be able to sign on behalf ofr the organisation. In that case, it requires that the organisation administrator has previously the use of organi-sation or user certificates.
If you have typed the CPR number in step 2, the user will receive an activation email from MitID Erhverv. The user must follow the link in the email and activate himself by authenticating with his private MitID once.
If the user needs guidance on activating his MitID Erhverv, refer to the following guidance:
Read the section: Activate with your private MitID on the page about instructions for activation
If you typed your date of birth in step 2, a temporary activation code will appear. The user must use it when the person activates their MitID Erhverv. You must give the activation code to the user in a secure channel. Remember to save the code until the user activates their MitID Erhverv.

Download the CSV template for creating multiple users (in Danish) (csv)
The template is already formatted correctly. Therefore, be aware that you do not change the formatting.

When you create multiple users at once by uploading a CSV file, this is called user import.
If you create users via user import, the users do not automatically receive an activation email. Therefore, you must manually send the users for activation.
You can send users for activation individually in 2 different ways. It depends on whether the user was created with a CPR number or with a date of birth.

Custom user groups are user groups created by an organisation administrator. User groups are defined by the rights that your organisation has added manually. Rights can be both internal and external.
