How to configure signing in your Altinn app
Below you will find guides for common configurations of signing.
The different scenarios below can to some extent be combined with each other, but many services will only need one of them.
Runetime delegated singing
By runtime delegated signing, we mean an app where those who need to sign are granted rights during the form-filling process.
Typically, the app will ask the form owner to provide the social security number and last name of the individuals who need to sign, or alternatively, the organization number if someone with signing authority within a company needs to sign.
Once the form is fully completed, the user presses “Submit for singing”. The app will then delegate rights and send a message to the inbox in Altinn. The recipient may also be notified via email and SMS, depending on the configuration.
Role/access package-based signing
By role and access package based signing, we mean a service where individuals who need to sign have the right to read and sign due to a role or access package they hold. For example a CEO, accountant or auditor.
Sign and submit
This is a scenario where the form instance owner is supposed to sign the data at the same time as submitting the form. Singing and submitting is the same button press.
API-based signing
It’s possible to use the signing functionality using only API calls, without using the Altinn user interface.
