What is a chain authorization?
A chain authorization allows you to authorize another organisation to act online on behalf of your organisation. In most cases, this is an intermediary such as an accountant, administrative office, or tax adviser.
With a chain authorisation, the intermediary can use a single eHerkenning login to access the online services of participating service providers on behalf of multiple organisations, provided they have been authorised to do so. This means the intermediary does not need to apply for a separate eHerkenning login for each client.
In summary
- You authorise another organisation to act on behalf of your organisation.
- The intermediary uses its own eHerkenning login.
- One eHerkenning login can be used to access services on behalf of multiple authorized organisations.
