As a Delegated Administrator, you are able to create new SP metadata and edit existing SP metadata assigned to you by your organization's Site Administrator. If you are unable to perform an action you believe you should, speak with your Site Administrator. Only a Site administrator can assign privileges to a Delegated Administrator.

Create new SP metadata

Click the link "Add a New Service Provider" to create new SP metadata. Visit the Working with SAML metadata wiki page for tips, recommendations, and requirements regarding the administration of SP metadata.

See Add a service provider. 

Note that you cannot directly submit metadata to be published to the InCommon metadata. Any metadata you add will be placed in a "DA Submitted" state. Your Site Administrator needs to approve and publish your changes on your behalf. Please contact your Site Administrator directly to request approval and publication when you are ready.

Edit existing SP metadata

When you login as a Delegated Administrator, you will be presented with a list of all SPs owned by the organization. Those SPs you have been given permission to edit will have an "Edit" link next to their entity ID. Click the link to edit the metadata for that SP. If there is no "Edit" link next to the SP you want to edit, talk to your site administrator.

See Update a service provider. 

Note that you cannot directly submit metadata to be published to the InCommon metadata. Any metadata you update will be placed in a "DA Submitted" state. Your Site Administrator needs to approve and publish your changes on your behalf. Please contact your Site Administrator directly to request approval and publication when you are ready.

Unlinking a Certificate

You may notice a link labeled "Unlink from the metadata" next to a certificate reference. This means the certificate was previously uploaded to the system by a site administrator and therefore can not be shown inline until you "Unlink" it. You should perform the following steps for each such certificate:

1. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and copy the content of the <ds:X509Certificate> element in metadata.
2. Paste the certificate content into an empty textarea.
3. Click the "Unlink from the metadata" link.
4. Submit an update request to your site administrator.

Once your site administrator approves the request, the certificate will appear inline where it is more easily reviewed and manipulated.
