Attributes
- SubjectID is PennID which is an 8 digit opaque number which does not change or get reassigned
- Our subject identifiers are pennkey (netId), and EPPN
- The name is the name which puts all the name pieces together
- The description is a long form of the name which we show in search results. This takes a lot of logic to produce, it is the name, pennkey, pennid, if active, description of primary affiliation, and listing of short forms of other affiliations. This is so descriptive to assure that someone using Grouper does not pick the wrong person. There are privacy issues which we address by using information from the user which they display in the authenticated directory, and we clamp down on which users can access the UI
- We have some subject attributes to help applications which are Grouper enabled get access to user attributes. Things like name, email, eppn, etc.
- The search field for the source is the description in lower-case.
