However, to prevent the SAML message from growing too large (a user can be in hundreds of groups), we currently only send group names that have been whitelisted by us for your service. Therefore, the functionality is currently useful for those SP's that require only to know if a user is a member of one or a few specific groups. If you need all the groups of a user, you are advised to use the VOOT REST API.

Orcid researcher ID

A proof of concept has been built where SURFconext can provide the eduPersonOrcid attribute to SP's that have a use for this researcher ID, after users have once linked their Orcid ID to their SURFconext account. This is not yet available in production. Contact us if you would be able to make use of this functionality.

Licence information

In collaboration with our procurement sister organisation SURFmarket we are supplying information about individual product licences from SURFmarket to the SPs that provide the licenced content. More details are in a blog about eStudybooks. This is currently limited to participants of this pilot. 

SAB roles

For SURFnet Services only.
