Setting up the entitlement for the JISC Collections website

This page provides information for those that manage an institutions UK Access Management Federation directory and have been requested to add an additional entitlement to allow federated access to the JISC Collections website.

JISC Collections website membership accounts include permissions that enable authorised members of library staff to order online resources. Consequently, in order to retain these permissions, JISC Collections requires the use of an eduPersonEntitlement value to be provided by the Identity Provider (usually being an institution) when using Federated Access Management.

Please use the information provided below to set up the entitlement on the directory.

The entitlement value is:
