Guest Access

Last changed: 2025-10-21

NREC currently only supports authentication via Feide. UiB and UiO users can sign up natively. The same is true for users at a few other Norwegian universities. Other users will need to get a guest account at UiB or UiO to use NREC.

Who can use NREC natively

Users at the following Norwegian universities can sign up natively and have full access to NREC:

• University of Bergen (UiB)

• University of Oslo (UiO)

Users at the following Norwegian universities and institutions can sign up natively but resources are controlled. These users may either become a member of an existing UiB or UiO project, or get their own projects as a paying customer:

• Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

• The Arctic University of Norway (UiT)

• University of Agder (UiA)

• Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (Sikt)

• Norwegian Veterinary Institute (Vetinst)

• Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU)

• Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL)

Getting a Guest Account

Users that are not from any of the institutions mentioned above will need a guest account at either UiB or UiO. See below for how to proceed:

• UiB:

  • How to register guests for user account | Norwegian version

• UiO:

  • Guest Registration – invite service for UiO’s guests | Norwegian version

  • Guest access to UiO’s IT systems [For employees] | Norwegian version

When the guest account has been generated the user may use NREC like any other UiB or UiO user.
