Download Metadata. The downloaded metadata includes the service
provider SAML login URLs and endpoints that are specific to your Experience Cloud sites, My
Domain subdomain, or custom domain configuration.This button displays only if your org is enabled as an Identity Provider, and only with connected apps that use SAML. You can access this metadata via a URL in Metadata Discovery Endpoint. Your service provider uses this URL to configure single sign-on to connect to Salesforce.
- In the OAuth Policies section, click View OAuth Usage to see which OAuth connected apps users are actively connecting to. These apps have an active access or refresh token.

countryand insert the field$Organization.Country. When using SAML, attributes are sent as SAML attribute statements. When using OAuth, attributes are available as acustom_attributesobject in the user’s Identity URL. - For OAuth-enabled connected apps, click Manage OAuth Custom Scopes to assign custom scopes to the connected app. See OAuth Custom Scopes.
