Hi,

New to Elastic here; seeking information on how to use a App Role on the Enterprise Application for Elastic SSO to assign a user to a particular role mapping;

We are using instructions;

> **[Set up SAML with Azure Active Directory | Elasticsearch Service Documentation...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-securing-clusters-saml-azure.html#ec-securing-clusters-saml-azure-kibana)**

I can see in the SAML response my role information is present however my role mapping rule:

user field: group  
type: text  
value: \<\>

user field: realm.name  
type: text  
value: \<\>

Doesn't seem to be assigning the user to the role in Elastic. I'm unsure what I'm missing here or if perhaps I am missing some information on the Attributes & Claims side in the Azure app ?

Regards,

It would be helpful if you could share more details, such as the SAML response, the actual role mapping etc. Please also format any code-like blocks with triple backticks.
