The newly upgraded Enterprise ID Administration capability will enable Shibboleth and SAML enabled websites as well as Campus/Enterprise administrators (Sponsors) to provision their users and assign them with specific Group and Role information. In addition, Sponsors will be able to assign their users with specific application grants and privileges. Such user information can then be released as SAML user attributes to trusted websites and applications that accept secure ProtectNetwork logins.

These new set of features in ProtectNetwork will enable Sponsors to enables access for their users to applications such as Google Apps, Apple Itunes and other SAML enabled applications and services on the Internet or within their own Campus/Enterprise.
