The R&S makes it possible to automatically release mostly harmless attributes to Service Providers within the higher educational sector. The expected IdP behaviour is to release the Service Provider required subset of the R&S Category Attributes (eptid, eppn, email, displayName, surname, given name and scoped affiliation). The requested subset of attributes for a specific service is defined in metadata. There is furthermore an identity provider entity support category that should be registered for all IdP that supports the R&S Category that can be used for filter purpose in a discovery service.

Example of services that uses the entity category includes (but are not limited to) collaborative tools and services such as wikis, blogs, project and grant management tools that require some personal information about users to work effectively.  This Entity Category should not be used for access to licensed content such as e-journals.
