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.
