Use Case IDM-16: Obtain affiliated institutions when an individual logs in to a service
Area: Account ManagementURLs: Review
Executive Summary: A campus IT administrator or service provider needs to obtain affiliated institutions when individuals login to a service so the service provider can track usage by consortium or other groupings of institutions.
Current CDP: 2020-05-04
XSEDE's Web SSO service (Globus Auth) satisfies this use case fully and the documentation specifically addresses how to do this. No further work is planned at this time.

| Component | User facing? | Component’s role in the capability |
|---|---|---|
| Globus Auth | yes | Globus Auth is XSEDE's Web Single Sign-On (SSO) service. Applications that use Globus Auth for logins can access the user's organization affiliation data. The affiliation data comes from the user's XSEDE user profile and from any non-XSEDE identities (e.g., campus ID) that the user has linked to his/her XSEDE identity. |
| Globus Auth ID Explorer | yes | The XSEDE Globus Identity Explorer web application provides a helpful view of the identity data returned by Globus Auth. Application developers can use this application to see what the identity data returned by Globus Auth looks like. |
