User Management in TSD

Add a new user

For new users with Norwegian electronic ID, adding new users to a project is a two-step process:

1. A person applies for access to a project in the TSD Selfservice portal.
2. The project administrator then reviews and approves the pending application.

International users

To add international users who do not have Norwegian e-ID, the process requires the project admin to schedule a video or phone call with the new user.

1. The project admin requests a invitation link being sent to the foreign user: TSD Selfservice: Invite foreign user. The link requires a secret string, and will expire after 3 hours.
2. The project admin gives the secret string to the new user via video or phone call with the project admin.
3. The new user follows the link, creates the user, set password and generates qr-code for authenticator.
4. The project admin gives access to Windows machines after the new user is created.

Apply for a test user

Follow the project access application procedure described above, and type in p11 as the project number you apply for.

Please note that the p11 project is purely for testing of functionality and that sensitive data can not be imported there.

Managing project members

Use the option called Managing project members in TSD Self Service to 

• list and search for the members of your project
• temporarily disable or permanently remove selected members from your project 
• send password reset links for users without Norwegian e-id

For members with TSD-user accounts (e. g. p12345-abcdef), the user account is listed in the second column of the table. For members without users accounts, such as associated members, the status is signified via a user icon that is crossed out. 

Searching and sorting

Use the text field above the table to search for specific members of your project. The search picks up on person names, user names and email addresses. The search does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters.

Deactivating and re-activating users 

The first button of the column called Actions indicates whether a user account is currently activated. Clicking the button toggles the state between activated and deactivated.

To deactivate a user means to prevent that user from using TSD-services associated with your project. The suspension lasts until the user is reactivated. Users can be deactivated and reactivated at any time.

Note that associated members (without user accounts) cannot be deactivated, only removed.

Removing members

Clicking the Delete at the end of a row, permanently removes that member from your project. Unlike deactivation, this action cannot be undone. To be able to contribute to the project once more, the person in question will have to re-apply to become a member of your project.

Reset password/qr code for users without Norwegian e-id

Users without a Norwegian e-id go to the administration page for foreign users.

Click the link named Send link to reset password to create and send a link for a project user to reset their password.

The user will receive an email with a reset link, asking them to fill in the passphrase that is generated with the link. This passphrase is supposed to be provided by the project admin.

Edit group memberships / Grant or revoke export or admin rights

Visit TSD Self Service

To change a user's privilege to export, publish, manage consent and administrate your TSD project, select User privileges. This page lets administrators grant and revoke the aforementioned privileges for any of the users of their project. For all other types of groups, select Group management.

Group management enables administrators of TSD projects to change the membership of the members of their project in all manageable groups of the project. All changes you perform will take effect the next time the person in question logs into TSD (disconnect and then re-connect to the already existing session in TSD, is not good enough).
