Account Manager Claims Value Provider

The Account Manager claims value provider fetches user attributes from a configured account manager. This provider connects to user stores to retrieve complete user profiles and custom attributes that can be included in tokens.

The Account Manager claims provider retrieves claims by querying the configured account manager for the authenticated user’s account data. The available attributes depend on the account manager configuration and the schema defined in the connected user store.

Use Cases#

The Account Manager claims value provider enables token issuance workflows that require user profile data from centralized user stores.

Common use cases include:

  • User Profile Claims: Include standard user attributes like email, phone number, name, and address in ID tokens and access tokens
  • Custom Attributes: Add organization-specific user attributes stored in the account manager to tokens for business logic
  • Role and Group Information: Retrieve user roles or group memberships from the user store for authorization decisions
  • Dynamic Attribute Lookup: Fetch current user data at token issuance time to ensure tokens contain up-to-date information
  • Multi-Source Integration: Combine account manager attributes with other claims providers for comprehensive token data
