Guest access to UiO's IT systems

In some cases, people who are not employees or students at UiO need access to parts of UiO's IT systems. In addition, some employees or associates who receive a salary from UiO may need IT access for a longer period than the contract period.


These roles can gain IT access as a guest at UiO

  • Emeritus*: academic employees who have retired, but who still have an office, etc. at UiO, and technical-administrative employees who have retired and whom the unit believes should still have access.
  • Guest researcher*: researchers who are not paid by UiO, but who need access to infrastructure such as offices, IT user accounts, library cards, Cristin, etc.
  • External consultant: persons that UiO does not pay directly, typically substitutes from a temporary staff recruitment agency, consultants etc. This role can also be used for external parties who need access to ePhorte access.
  • External partner: persons who are not paid by UiO, typically board members or to persons to be registered in Cristin.

*The roles of emeritus and guest researcher do not receive access to the case and archive system ePhorte (Norwegian).

    Delegating access to registering guests at your unit

    The manager of a unit automatically gets access to manage guests at their unit. If this access needs to be delegated to someone else, the manager needs to send an email to gjestereg@usit.uio.no with the following information:

    1. The username of the person that needs access
    2. Which units the person needs access to. If the access should apply to units further down in the organizational tree, this should be specified.
