Attribute Mapping :

• Attribute Mapping is used by the Identity Provider(IdP) and the Moodle group(SP) to map user information from IdP to SP
• Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your IdP and map them to Moodle user attributes.
• Attributes received in successful Test configuration are used for Attribute Mapping.
• In Attribute Mapping details like username and NameID as shown in step 3 of Test Successful are mapped to Username and Email respectively.
• While auto registering the users in your Moodle group these attributes will automatically get mapped to your Moodle user details.

Role Mapping :

• Moodle plugin assigns roles to groups which are mapped against those groups.
• Moodle uses a concept of Groups, designed to give the site owner the ability to control what groups can and cannot do within the site.
• In Role Attribute enter the Attribute Name given against role value of Test Configuration for the user.
• Role mapping helps you to assign specific roles to users of a Moodle group from your IdP.
