Will my WebID account be deleted?

WebID automatically deletes user accounts that are no longer in use, so the user must be sure to stay updated.

To be deleted, the following must have occurred:

  • For Feide users: Have not logged on to webid.uio.no for 365 days. It is not enough to have logged on to other services, like weblogin.uio.no.
  • For WebID users: Have not changed password for 365 days.

Note that deleted WebID users cannot be restored. A new user must be created instead.

Note: It is not enough to log on through weblogin.uio.no. You have to go to webid.uio.no to avoid getting your account deleted.

E-mail warning:

30 days before a user is due for deletion, an e-mail is sent to the user's registered e-mail address. This includes a link to stop the deletion.

There are other ways to avoid being deleted, besides following this link:

  • For Feide users: go to webid.uio.no and log on. The user is now active for another 365 days.
  • For WebID users: log on to webid.uio.no and change password. The user is now active for another 365 days.

Note that only one warning of deletion will be sent.
