SWAMID membership is generally reserved for government or research and education institutions in Sweden. A company or organization that provides a service to the SWAMID community does not need to become a member of SWAMID.
Provide services to SWAMID members
A company or organization that wants to provide services that rely on identities provided by SWAMID members does not usually need to become a member of SWAMID. For the SWAMID WebSSO technology profile the service provider only has to accept the SWAMID Metadata Terms of Use. This acceptance does not have to be communicated to SWAMID.
