Preparation
Attribute mapping is only possible in combination with an active Single-Sign-On (SSO). After activating the SSO, desired attributes/group can be released through the SSO application (e.g., Entra ID, Shibboleth, SAML2). When the user logs in, we then receive the attribute information in addition to the name and email address.
Examples:
Attribute: Department 01,
Group: IT-DEV,
Status: Student / Staff
Check which attributes and groups are provided with your SSO registration, you can view this under SSO & Security - Load My Attribute Data.
What is Attribute Mapping?
With attribute mapping, you can assign user properties from your IDP (user management) to anny communities. This way, members can be automatically (auto-join) assigned to the respective internal booking areas (communities).
How do I set it up?
Click on your account settings
Choose SSO & Security
Scroll down to Attribute Mapping
Click Add Mapping - Community
Create Rule
Click on Attribute Mapping and choose Community
Click on Rule to create a new rule
Enter the value of the group or attribute into the condition and determine the community to which the users should be added
Example M365 Entra ID groups:
If http://schemas.microsoft.com/......../identity/claims/groups
Contains (Array): group_dev
Then anny Community Dev Team Office
Example Shibboleth:
If: urn:oid:xxxx
Contains (Array): Student
Then anny Community Student Wave University.
Save your entries
The entry of values for group designations and value is case sensitive and must exactly match the spelling given by the IDP. The exact spelling can be seen under 'Load My Attribute Data'.
Are there multiple values that belong to a certain group of people?
The system goes through all the rules. Whenever a rule applies, this value is adopted.
Example Company: A person belongs to a department (e.g., Sales) within a company. They should therefore be automatically added as a user at anny to the community "Sales & Marketing", "Retail", and "Company".
Example University: A person belongs to a specific course (e.g., teaching philosophy) within a set university. Therefore, they should automatically be added as a user to the community "Teaching Philosophy", but also to the communities "Philosophy Faculty" and "Test City College".
Add all users from your company (SSO) Create a new rule for community mapping and then delete the condition. Select the desired community to which all your company's users should be assigned.All your SSO users will now be added to the desired community without a filter.
