How you get started the first time depends on whether you create an account for your company, or are invited by a colleague or a buyer.
Create an account for your company
If your company does not have an account in SourceMagnet, you create one on the log in page. The person who creates the organization becomes the owner. The role Owner has everything Admin has, and can also give the role Admin to others. See "Roles explained".
1. Open the log in page in SourceMagnet and press Sign up.
2. Enter Company name, choose Company location and enter Organization number. For Norway the organization number must have nine digits.
3. Press Continue.
4. Enter First name, Last name, Email and Password. The password must have at least 8 characters.
5. Check the boxes to accept the privacy policy and the terms of service.
6. Press Sign up.
If you need to correct the company details, press Back to organization info. If your email is not confirmed afterwards, how to confirm it is described in "Confirm your email address". See also "Register your company and create an account".
The first page is about the company
The second page is about you as the person creating the account, and you must accept the privacy policy and the terms of service
Be invited by a colleague or a buyer
An admin or owner can invite you to the organization, and a buyer can invite your company to submit a bid on a sourcing event. Both invitations arrive by email. How you accept them is described in "Accept an invitation".
Log in with email and password
If you have an account, you log in on the log in page.
1. Open the log in page in SourceMagnet.
2. Enter your email address in Email and your password in Password.
3. Press Log in.
If you have forgotten the password, see "Reset your password".
The email and password fields at the top and the Entra ID button below
ℹ️ Note: The log in page has no BankID button. BankID is used when you sign your offer.
Log in with Entra ID
If your organization uses Entra ID, press Log in with Entra ID on the log in page instead of entering a password.
💡 Tip: If an administrator has turned on Force Entra ID authentication, only Entra ID log in is allowed for the organization. Then you must use Log in with Entra ID.
How to check that it worked
After you log in, you see the Overview home page and your name at the bottom of the menu. See "How SourceMagnet is put together".
If it does not work
The error Incorrect email or password or Invalid email or password means the email or the password is wrong. Enter them again, or reset the password. See "Reset your password".
The message Your account may have been a part of an organization at one point, and then been removed means you are logged in, but the account belongs to no organization. Ask an admin or owner to add you again. Only admins and owners can manage users.
If an invitation is used or expired, see "Accept an invitation".
