When logs in using SSO, their identity comes from a central IdP that has more interesting information about them than just first name, last name, and email address. For instance, company name. We would like those details to be sent in the SAML payload and be added to the user attributes section in Aha so that it can be referenced when looking at the Aha idea to find out more information about the creator.
Aha! Ideas Advanced now supports storing custom fields and data on portal users, which we call Contacts. Today this data can be sent to Aha! via csv import and API.
Now you can also now send the portal user's organization assignment via SAML SSO.
We will keep this idea open to track the ability to pass in additional fields via SSO.
Being able to send additional SAML attributes would be very helpful for us when trying to figure out which organization a contact belongs to (unfortunately using email domains to determine a contact's organization doesn't work for our use case).
The richer information from a SSO identity will vary by organization so possible make these customizable fields that can contain data elements like: company name, company code, job title, affiliation code etc
