innpass

Innpass is a term used primarily in Norwegian-speaking contexts to refer to permission or an instrument that allows entry to a place or system. It translates roughly as "entry pass" or "admission" and appears in administrative, security, and event-management language. The concept encompasses both physical access to buildings or restricted areas and digital access to information resources.

In physical access, innpass often takes the form of a pass, badge, ticket, or digital credential that identifies an individual and authorizes their entry. It is routinely managed by visitor-management systems, access-control infrastructure, and security policies, and is subject to privacy and safety considerations, such as vetting, expiry, and revocation of credentials. In events or workplaces, innpass processes may include pre-registration, check-ins, and role-based access assignments.

In digital contexts, the term may be used informally to describe the granting of access rights within a system. This use overlaps with concepts of authentication and authorization, access control lists, and entitlement management. While innpass is used in Norwegian discourse, English-language technical literature typically uses terms such as access control, authentication, authorization, or login when describing similar mechanisms.
