An identity provider (IdP) supports the Research & Scholarship (R&S) Category if, for some subset of the IdP's user population, the IdP releases a minimal subset of the R&S attribute bundle to R&S SPs service providers without administrative involvement, either automatically or subject to user consent. |
...
For the purposes of access control, a non-reassigned persistent identifier MUST be released is REQUIRED. If your deployment of eduPersonPrincipalName is non-reassigned, it will suffice. Otherwise you MUST release eduPersonTargetedID (which is non-reassigned by definition) in addition to eduPersonPrincipalName. In any case, release of both identifiers is RECOMMENDED.
If a service provider lists any of the person name attributes in metadata, the identity provider MUST release some form of person name, either displayName or givenName + sn. Beyond that, an identity provider is NOT REQUIRED to release any attribute not listed in metadata.
