A WebID user is a user account that can be created by anyone and that can access the services that support WebID. WebID users can be used by external persons to access the web services without having to obtain UiO username and password.
Using WebID
A WebID group is a group of WebID users that have access to a service. Groups are created in webid.uio.no and can be used in services that support WebID.
All those who do not have their own Feide or UiO useraccount need a WebID user if they are to access UiO web services that support WebID.
Feide users who have moderator access to a WebID group can invite WebID and Feide users to be members of the group, and in this way they gain access to the service or services in which the group is used.
WebID automatically deletes user accounts that are no longer in use, so the user must be sure to stay updated.
