How does Federation Manager work?

Each Participant organization designates up to 2 authorized individuals to manage metadata on its behalf. These individuals are called Site Administrators. 

The metadata submitted by a site administrator is vetted and approved by the InCommon Registration Authority (RA).  The RA checks submissions to make sure  that the entity ID and endpoints in metadata meet accuracy and information integrity requirements.
