Altinn 3 - System access

Here you can manage the connection between AutoReport and Altinn 3. A system access needs to be created to send reports to Altinn 3. When the system access is created no personal login is required when sending reports.

NB: The new system access does not support the VAT report, so when sending the VAT report IDPorten is still used and personal login is required.

An accounting firm report on my behalf

When an accounting firm setup a system access for customers in AutoReport and select to report on behalf of the logged in company this will be visible in the settings page.

If no accounting firm is reporting for the logged in company a system access can be created and the logged in company can report directly to Altinn themself.

I report directly to Altinn myself

To send reports on behalf of the logged-in company a system access needs to be created.

Select “I report directly to Altinn myself”

Press “Create new system access in Altinn”

You will be redirected to Altinn.

Be aware: To login and approve the access you need to have the Altinn role “Access Management” (Tilgangsstyring).

The General Manager (Daglig leder) and the Chairman of the Board (Styreleder) have this role implicitly, but it can be delegated in Altinn to other individuals in the enterprise, who can then also approve the system access.

In addition to the role “Access Management” you also need to have rights to the access packages included for the system access. For a standard system access this means that you need rights to the access packages A-message, Salary with personal data of special category, Tax base and Business tax.

Press “Approve system access”.

When the authorization is done you will be redirected back to AutoReport and the system access is created.

You can now send reports to Altinn 3 for your company.

How to update access packages for a system access

A system access includes multiple access packages when it’s created. In some cases it can be necessary for AutoReport to add or remove access packages to a standard system access.

When AutoReport makes changes to the set of access packages you will get the possibility to update your already created system access to get the new set of access packages.

Go to AutoReport and Settings

In the section “I report directly to Altinn myself” you will have the possibility to update access packages:

Press “Update access package”

If you need to send different reports that demand different access packages, multiple system accesses for customers needs to be created. More details can be found in the section “How to create multiple system accesses for customers with different access packages”.
