This feature can be used to assign different Joomla groups to the users based on their SAML attributes. The particular groups/roles will be applied to users once they meet the specified conditions while logging into Joomla via Single Sign-On.
This feature allows you to provide user capabilities based on their IdP attribute Group values.
Click on Enable Group Mapping checkbox. You can select the default group for users.
In the Group / Role field you have to fill in The Attribute Name corresponding to group names coming from IDP.
Then enter the IDP groups in Groups/Role Name in IDP field which you want to map to the respective Joomla Group.
The following features are provided in our plugin for Group Mapping:
Do not update existing user's roles: It won't add newly mapped roles to existing users
Do not update existing users' roles and add newly mapped roles: It will add newly mapped roles to existing users without delete existing roles.
Do not auto-create users if roles are not mapped here. You can use only one feature between 2 and 3 features.
