--- Comment #1 from Brendan Lawlor <[email protected]> ---
At one point we had autocreate and sync both working for our use case, but
since some Koha upgrade, possibly 23.05, it stopped working the way that we
expected it to and have had to turn off sync.

In our use case we are using SSO for library staff accounts. We had autocreate
set some default level of permissions so that staff could login to the staff
interface and do some basic circ when they first logged in. Then we managed
elevating permissions in Koha.

We had sync turned on and our SAML so that we could update staff attributes
like branchcode and name in the IdP and the Koha account would update the next
time the staff logged in.

Originally the sync allowed for updating the user's attributes sent by SAML,
but allowed for the elevated permissions to be retained. We had to turn off
sync because Shibboleth started syncing the permission flags to the default and
all staff lost their permissions.

We don't store and send permission flags in our IdP, but to get this working
again without a patch we would have to do that.

I think Shibboleth's sync should only update attributes that are explicitly
passed from the SAML app, so that you could configure defaults for other fields
in autocreate. This is particularly useful for setting default permissions for
new staff.
