SAML attributes that make a user real — Learn it in 5 minutes
About five minutes of reading
A successful SAML login that lands without a routing profile is a user who cannot take a contact.
Map the role, the security profile, and the routing profile from the assertion. Hierarchy is optional and easy to get wrong if your IdP sends a display name and Connect expects the configured group.
IAM Identity Center is a reasonable IdP. It still federates with SAML. Global Resiliency adds a Regional sign-in endpoint. The CCP allow list includes it only when you have onboarded.
- Test with one user and one profile before you federate the whole center.
- Role session name problems show up as opaque access errors. Read the IdP logs and the Connect login error together.
- Do not create a parallel local admin and forget it when people leave.
- The replica instance needs the same identity story or failover signs nobody in.
