• While auto registering the users in your Magento site these attributes will automatically get mapped to your Magento user details.
• Only NameID can be mapped to Magento's Email and Username characteristics with the free plugin. Multiple user attributes from the IdP, on the other hand, can be mapped to Magento attributes in the premium version of the plugin. You can map custom attributes that you've added to your IdP in addition to the default attributes.
• When a user performs SSO, the NameID value sent by the IdP will get mapped to the email and the username of the Magento user.

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:	Name of the Role attribute from Identity Provider (IdP)

• While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they are mapped to.
• You can specify a default role in the POC extension that will be allocated to all non-admin users when they conduct SSO.
