• Attribute Mapping helps you to get user attributes from your IdP and map them to WordPress user attributes like firstname, lastname etc.
• While auto registering the users in your WordPress site these attributes will automatically get mapped to your WordPress user details.

Step 6: Role Mapping(It is Optional to fill this)

• WordPress uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the site owner the ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site.
• WordPress has six pre-defined roles: Super Admin, Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor and Subscriber.
• Role mapping helps you to assign specific roles to users of a certain group in your IdP.
• While auto registering, the users are assigned roles based on the group they are mapped to.
