Userinfo
The userinfo endpoint is an OIDC/OAuth protected resource where client applications can retrieve claims, or assertions, about the logged in end-user. Clients must present a valid access token to retrieve the userinfo claims.
The userinfo endpoint is:

The set of information that will be available from userinfo depends on which attribute groups the client has authorized and which scopes are requested in the authorization request.
- connect-userid_sec
Warning
Deprecated and will be removed in the future. Included for backward compatibility. Same as https://n.feide.no/claims/userid_sec.
- dataporten-userid_sec
Warning
Deprecated. Same as https://n.feide.no/claims/userid_sec. There’s no plan to remove this claim in the near future.
- https://n.feide.no/claims/userid_sec
Secondary user IDs, e.g. Feide identifier.
The attribute groups userid-feide, userid-nin, userid-social and eidas determine what information is included here.
- https://n.feide.no/claims/eduPersonPrincipalName
Contains eduPersonPrincipalName (Full Feide name) for valid Feide users. Requires the userid-feide attribute group.
- https://n.feide.no/claims/nin
For users who logged in with ID-porten, this contains the national identification number. Requires the userid-nin attribute group.
To find the NIN for Feide users, see extended userinfo.
Email address of the authenticated user. Requires the email attribute group.
- email_verified
This will always be false since Feide does not verify email addresses.
- name
The name of the authenticated user. Requires the userinfo-name attribute group.
- picture
A picture of the authenticated user, if available. Requires the userinfo-photo attribute group.
- sub
The internal ID of the authenticated user. This ID is stable but opaque, not releasing any additional information about the user. Always included.
Extended userinfo
Additional information from Feide directories is available at the extended userinfo endpoint. If the Feide directory includes the national identity number, this is where it can be found.
