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.
