Deprecated 2020-09-01
SWAMID Research & Education entity category is deprecated and is replaced with REFEDS R&S or GÉANT CoCo depending on service.
Definition
The Research & Education category applies to low-risk services that support research and education as an essential component.
To release attributes to services tagged with the Research & Education category the service must also be tagged with at least one of the SWAMID Data Protection Entity Categories.
For instance, a service that provides tools for both multi-institutional research collaboration and instruction is eligible as a candidate for this category. This category is very similar to InCommons Research & Scolarship Category. The expected IdP behaviour is to release name, eppn, eptid, mail and eduPersonScopedAffiliation only if the services is also in at least one of the safe data processing categories. It is also recommended that static organisational information is released. If the Identity Provider home organisation has fulfilled the requirements for SWAMID Assurance Profiles eduPersonAssurance should also be released.

Definition
The SFS 1993:1153 category is strictly reserved for services that are governed by the Swedish legislation SFS 1993:1153.
SFS 1993:1153 limits membership in this category to services provided by Swedish universities, Swedish university colleges and the Swedish government agencies Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) and Statistics Sweden (SCB).
The entity category is intended for common government operated student admissions and achieved learning administration services such as NyA and LADOK as well as services for student account enrollment, course registration and learning progression processes at universities and university colleges.
Inclusion in this category is strictly reserved for services that fulfill SFS 1993:1153 which implies that the application may make use of norEduPersonNIN, i.e. the Swedish Personal identity number, the Swedish Co-ordination number or the Higher education personal interim identity number. The expected IdP behavior is to release norEduPersonNIN. If the Identity Provider home organisation has fulfilled the requirements for SWAMID Assurance Profiles eduPersonAssurance should also be released.
Examples of services that are viable for this entity category is a course registration self service and a student account creation service, a learning progression registration service and an internship administration self service.
