Virtual groups for SAML
SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language and is an XML-based open standard for exchanging authentications and permissions.
SAML is a federated login method that allows you to log in to a website in SiteVision with the account from its own directory service, without having to be directly linked to SiteVision. If a visitor navigates to an address that requires login, they are sent on to the customer's IDP (located in the customer's own environment) where the visitor logs in. When the login is complete, a form with signed information is posted to the site in SiteVision.
Do as follows:
1. Add virtual group
Go to Website settings and click Virtual groups under the Security category. The Virtual Groups dialogue box opens.
Click on Add Virtual group. The Add Virtual group dialogue box opens.
Fill in Name, Id and a Description if applicable, andCriteria for the virtual group.
Name

Id
The value of the group attribute in the external directory service. This can be a name or path, and it must exactly match the information contained in the SAML ticket.
