This document describes the SAML attributes and OIDC claims that are available to relying parties  connected to the eduTEAMS Service. Attribute - claims marked as Mandatory will always be available to a relying party. Attribute - claims marked as Optional will be made available under certain circumstances. For example, some attributes - claims can be available only if the respective attributes - claims are released by the home Identity Provider of the user. Attributes - claims and values marked as Experimental might change or removed in the future, so relying parties should not rely on them, but use them only for experimental purposes.

Affiliation within Home Organization

NameAffiliation within Home Organization
Description

One or more home organisations (such as, universities, research institutions or private companies) this user is affiliated with. The syntax and semantics follows eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute.

Following values are recommended for use to the left of the “@” sign:

  • Faculty

    The person is a researcher or teacher in their home organisation. 

    The exact interpretation is left to the home organization, but the intention is that the primary focus of the person in their home organisation is in research and/or education. 

    Note. This attribute value is for users in the academic sector

  • Industry-researcher

    The person is a researcher or teacher in their home organisation. 

    The exact interpretation is left to the home organisation, but the intention is that the primary focus of the person in their home organisation is in research and/or education. 

    Note. This attribute value is for users in the private sector.

  • Member

    Member is intended to include faculty, industry-researcher, staff, student and other persons with a full set of basic privileges that go with membership in the home organisation, as defined in eduPerson. 

    In contrast to faculty, among other things, this covers positions with managerial and service focus, such as service management or IT support.

  • Affiliate

    The affiliate value indicates that the holder has some definable affiliation to the home organisation NOT captured by any of faculty, industry-researcher, staff, student and/or member.

If a person has faculty or industry-researcher affiliation with a certain organisation, they have also the member affiliation. However, that does not apply in a reverse order. Furthermore, those persons who do not qualify to member have an affiliation of affiliate.

To become a holder of the faculty, industry-researcher or member attribute values in eduTEAMS the user must have either 

  • Performed federated login to eduTEAMS using their home organisation’s credentials, during which the home organisation releases the related eduPersonAffiliation or eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute, or 
  • Be assigned that value manually in eduTEAMS by a dedicated person in their home organisation 

To become a holder of the affiliate value, the user must either 

  • Use either of the two alternatives above, or
  • Demonstrate they control an e-mail address that belongs to the home organisation

Notes

The freshness of the attribute values is managed by asking users to refresh the value every 12 months using the procedure described above.

eduTEAMS asserts attribute values with different scopes. The Relying services are not supposed to do SAML scope check to this attribute.
