Shibboleth Attribute Reference
In order of popularity This document contains information about the most popular user attributes here at the University. Other attributes are available, so if you don’t see what you’re looking for contact the Identity Management Team (​
idm@umn.edu​
). Attribute Availability In some cases, users may have suppressed some or all of their directory information from public view. Faculty and staff members of the University of Minnesota may only suppress their home address and phone number while students may suppress all of their information. As required by University policy and certain regulations such as FERPA, an Access Request Form (ARF) is required to obtain certain attribute values from the user directory. Multi­Value Attributes Some attributes may contain more than one value. Usually, each individual datum is delimited by a character (i.e., a semi­colon), but this depends on the SAML software being used by the individual service provider (SP). Such attributes are denoted as such in the table below. Common Use Cases 1. I want to be able to email the user ○ Helpful Attributes: ​
