Candidates for the Pseudonymous Access Entity Category are Service Providers that offer a level of service based on proof of successful authentication and offer personalization based on a pseudonymous user identifier. The Service Provider must be able to effectively demonstrate this need to their federation registrar (normally the Service Provider’s home federation) and demonstrate their compliance with regulatory requirements concerning personal data through a published Privacy Notice.

None of the attributes in this entity category are specifically intended to provide authorization information. 

Please note that the first of the REFEDS Personalized Pseudonymous Access Entity Category, then called REFEDS Pseudonymous Authorization Entity Category, was published at the end of early 2021 and therefore not so many Identity Providers has support for it yet. SWAMID recommends that you complement the REFEDS Personalized Access Entity Category with the entity category GÉANT Data Protection Code of Conduct until end of 2023 2024 to get the expected attribute release.
