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.

Name

eduTEAMS Username

Description

The eduTEAMS username is a user selected, human-readable, revocable identifier (i.e. the user can change it). It is intended to be used when a unique identifier needs to be displayed in the user interface (e.g. wikis or Unix accounts).

It has the syntax of eduPersonPrincipalName, which consists of “user” part and a fixed scope “eduteams.org”, separated by the @ sign. The user part (syntax derived from Linux accounts) begins with a lowercase letter or an underscore, followed by lower case letters, digits, underscores, or dashes and should between 4 and 16 characters long. The following regular expression applies: (^[a-z0-9_-]{4,16}$)

The usernames beginning with an underscore are dedicated to eduTEAMS service IDs. (Experimental)
