Liferay seeks to better understand how administrators engage with the Control Panel and Product Menu in self-hosted environments. Since these deployments are customer-managed, Liferay currently lacks visibility into real-world admin behavior.

This feature introduces a privacy-first analytics solution that enables organizations to opt in to share anonymized usage data. By doing so, Liferay can gain valuable insights to enhance usability, guide product improvements, and deliver a more data-informed experience, while maintaining full transparency and compliance.

Key Benefits:

• Data-Driven Product Improvements: Gain visibility into real-world admin behavior to prioritize enhancements that deliver the most value.

• Enhanced Customer Experience: Use insights to refine usability and optimize administrator workflows.

• Trust and Compliance: Ensure analytics collection respects customer autonomy, privacy, and regulatory requirements through an opt-in model.

This feature enables administrators to map OpenID Connect (OIDC) user attributes to Liferay custom fields during user authentication or synchronization. By allowing flexible attribute mapping, organizations can seamlessly integrate identity data from external providers, ensure user profiles remain accurate and complete, and reduce manual configuration. This enhances interoperability, simplifies user management, and supports a more personalized user experience across systems.

Key Benefits:

• Seamless Integration: Simplifies connecting external identity providers by automatically mapping OIDC attributes to Liferay user data.

• Improved Data Consistency: Ensures user profiles are accurate and synchronized across systems without manual intervention.

• Enhanced Flexibility: Allows organizations to tailor user data mapping to their specific business and compliance needs.

This feature introduces the ability to map SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) attributes to Liferay custom fields. It allows organizations to synchronize additional user information from external identity systems beyond standard fields. By enabling flexible attribute mapping, Liferay supports richer identity data integration, simplifies user provisioning, and strengthens alignment with enterprise identity management standards.

Key Benefits:

• Streamlined Identity Synchronization: Automatically align user attributes between Liferay and external identity providers.

• Greater Flexibility: Support custom business requirements through configurable mappings of SCIM attributes.

• Enhanced Data Accuracy: Maintain consistent and up-to-date user information across all connected systems.

This feature enables Liferay to function as both a SAML Identity Provider (IdP) and a Service Provider (SP) at the same time. With this capability, organizations can simplify complex authentication flows—such as acting as an IdP for connected systems while also consuming authentication from an external IdP. This flexibility supports diverse deployment scenarios, multi-tenant setups, and hybrid identity architectures. user provisioning, and strengthens alignment with enterprise identity management standards.

Key Benefits:

• Increased Flexibility: Support advanced identity configurations by allowing Liferay to serve dual roles in SAML-based authentication.

• Simplified Integration: Reduce complexity in hybrid or multi-system environments by centralizing identity management within Liferay.

• Enhanced Interoperability: Enable seamless authentication across multiple systems without compromising security or compliance.
