1. Enable support for automatic attribute release from identity providers with Entity Categories for Service Providers.
2. If your service shall be available within the international academic identity federations inform SWAMID Operations that your Service Provider shall be exported to eduGAIN.
3. Contact the identity providers that you've know that you have users from and be sure that they release needed attributes, preferable with an entity category and with a manual release if you need special attributes, ie. entitlements.Inform users that don't have the required attributes when they log in so that they can talk to their Service desk about the problem. For more information see How to inform user of missing required attributes when accessing a service.

Don't forget to enhance user experience with Service Provider Metadata Extensions for Login and Discovery User Interface (MDUI).
