Assign Users to Teams Using SAML Attributes

You can automatically assign users to teams based on their SAML attributes if you are using a custom identity provider.

5. Optional: Select  (New Mapping Definition) to add multiple conditions.
   1. Choose the Conditions Logic to apply to the attributes.

      Select AND if you want all the conditions to be applied to users. Select OR if you want at least one of the conditions to be applied to users.

      
6. Select Save.
7. Note

   Value is case sensitive.

   

The SAML mapping is created. Users will be added to the team only after they have logged out and back into SAP Analytics Cloud. The SAML user mapping you created will appear in the Teams list.

Every User should have the Teams Name in Custom Attribute 1 to till Custom Attribute 5
