Once the IdP and RP have entered into a trust agreement and completed registration, the federation protocol can be used to pass subscriber attributes from the IdP to the RP. A subscriber’s identity attributes SHALL only be transmitted between the IdP and the RP for federation transactions or support functions, such as identification of compromised subscriber accounts (see Sec. 3.10.1 ), even when parties are allowlisted for federation purposes.

A subscriber’s identity attributes SHALL NOT be used by the RP for purposes other than those stipulated in the trust agreement unless the subscriber specifically consents to such purposes. A subscriber’s attributes SHALL be stored and managed in accordance with Sec. 3.11.3 .

The subscriber SHALL be informed of the transmission of attributes to an RP. If the authorized party is the organization, the organization SHALL make the list of approved RPs and the associated sets of attributes sent to those RPs available to the subscriber. If the authorized party is the subscriber, the subscriber SHALL be prompted prior to the release of attributes using a runtime decision at the IdP, as described in Sec. 4.6.1.3 .
