IAS Custom Delegation Questionnaire
When institutions request a new custom delegation in IAS they are provided with a document to fill out, which is then used to configure the delegation and for the IAS team to have an overview of all custom delegations. Below are more detailed explanations of the questions asked in the document to assist institutions in filling out the document as accurately as possible.
If these explanations do not suffice, please contact a member of the IAS onboarding team for further assistance.
Delegations (umboð)
IAS allows institutions to define delegations (umboð) which a user (delegator/umboðsveitandi) can then grant to other individuals (delegatee/umboðshafi) to allow the delegatee to access information and act on behalf of the delegator. It is also possible to define delegations that can be granted on behalf of other users/entities, a common example of this is when a company's procuring holder designates an "access controller" within the company who can then grant other employees/contractors delegations as needed.
Delegation Information
It is important to note that both the Display name and description must give the user a clear idea of which rights will be granted by the delegation and that those rights do not change over time. Do not hesitate to contact the IAS onboarding team for advice on wording and structuring of delegations. We also recommend visiting https://island.is/minarsidur/adgangsstyring/umbod to see examples of existing delegations.

This is primarily to give the IAS onboarding team an idea of your use case and help them advice on potential changes.
Delegation user groups
In order to create the delegation we need to know which groups of users should be able to grant the delegation. We also ask for a short user story for each group of users, this is in order to help the IAS onboarding team give you the best advice on how to achieve your user stories.
Should this delegation be granted to individuals in their own name?
