This document describes the SAML attributes and OIDC claims that are available to relying parties connected to the MyAccessID 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.
List of Attributes - Claims
Community User Identifier
Name | Community User Identifier |
---|---|
Description | User’s Community Identifier is an opaque and non-revocable identifier (i.e. it cannot change over time) that follows the syntax of eduPersonUniqueId attribute of eduPerson. It consists of “uniqueID” part and fixed scope “myaccessid.org”, separated by at sign. The uniqueID part contains up to 64 hexadecimal digits (a-f, 0-9) |

Notes |
Affiliation within Home Organization
Name | Affiliation 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:
If a person has faculty 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. |

Notes | This attribute defines just the identity assurance. Authentication assurance is described using authentication contexts (SAML authentication context or OIDC acr claim). |
MyAccessID Username
Name | MyAccessID Username |
---|---|
Description | The MyAccessID 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 “MyAccessID.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 MyAccessID service IDs. (Experimental) |
