Acting on behalf of another person in Messages
You can grant another person the right to act on your behalf in Suomi.fi Messages. An e-authorisation can be described as an electronic power of attorney, the details of which are entered into the national authorisation register.
The assignee can use Suomi.fi Messages according to the scope of the mandate granted in the following matters:
Management of electronic communications
- The assignee may consent to the electronic transfer of messages, manage message settings, delete messages and read and send electronic messages on behalf of the assignor.
- If you wish to consent to the electronic transmission of messages on behalf of another person, follow the instructions on the Use of Messages by an underaged child page.
Reading and sending electronic messages
- The assignee may read and send electronic messages on behalf of the assignor.
Reading electronic messages
- The assignee may read electronic messages on behalf of the assignor.
The assignee should always log into e-services using a personal identifier, i.e. as themselves. If the assignee has the right to act on behalf of another person, they must always first choose the person on whose behalf they wish to act after identifying themselves. After they have made the choice, the rights will be checked with Suomi.fi e-Authorizations.
It is not yet possible to act on behalf of another person in the Suomi.fi mobile application.
Other than that, using Messages is same as when acting when no authority is needed.
