Step 4: Attribute Mapping (It is Optional to fill this.) This is a Premium feature.

• Attributes are user details that are stored in your Identity Provider.
• Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your Identity Provider (IdP) and map them to Drupal user attributes like firstname, lastname etc.
• While auto registering the users in your Drupal site these attributes will automatically get mapped to your Drupal user details.
• In miniOrange SAML Module, go to Mapping tab and fill in all the fields.

Username:	Name of the username attribute from IdP (Keep NameID by default)
Email:	Name of the email attribute from IdP (Keep NameID by default)
Group/Role Key:	Name of the Role attribute from Identity Provider (IdP)


• You can check the Test Configuration Results under Service Provider Setup tab to get a better idea of which values to map here.

Step 5: Role mapping. (It is Optional to fill this.) This is a Premium feature.

• Drupal uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the site owner the ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site.
• Role mapping helps you to assign specific roles to users of a certain group in your Identity Provider (IdP) .
• While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they are mapped to.

Step 6: Sign In Setting. This is a Premium feature.
