• 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 plugin, 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)

• While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they are mapped to.
