Attributes
What they are and what they are for
Attributes are characteristics that a party possesses (for example, “being a Municipality”). Producers use them to restrict access to their e-services, treating them as access requirements.
When creating an e-service, the producer defines the attributes required for a consumer to submit a service request. If the consumer possesses or can prove possession of these attributes, they can subscribe to consume the e-service.
Grouping of attributes (groups)
Attributes are organized into groups. When a group contains multiple attributes, it is sufficient for the consumer to possess at least one of them to meet the access requirement.
Example: if an e-service requires an attribute group defined as “Municipality or Region,” any entity possessing either the Municipality or Region attribute satisfies the requirement.
Types of attributes
- Certified: attributes certified by an authoritative source.
- Verified: attributes that require verification by the producer, according to its internal validation processes.
- Declared: attributes self-declared by the consumer through an explicit action.
Certified attributes
Certification is based on an authoritative source called a certifying body; the responsibility for the correct recognition of the attribute lies with this body.
Operational example: the IPA Catalog (authoritative source) provides the attribute “Municipalities and their Consortia and Associations” and the list of parties possessing it.
- Public Administrations (PA), Public Service Managers (GSP), Publicly Controlled Companies (SCP), Companies within the Consolidated Economic Account (SCEC): the main authoritative source is IPA; the verification of attribute possession is automatic on PDND. Any updates or corrections to attribute data must be requested from the IPA manager (AgID) according to the established procedures. The list is synchronized every 24 hours.
- Private e-procurement platform managers: certification is based on the certification process of components published by AgID; once completed, PDND is notified of the entity to which the certified attributes required by producers must be assigned.
- ANAC services: Public Administrations and Public Service Managers seeking to obtain the attributes required to access ANAC services must follow the recognition process through AgID.
- Other certified attributes: these are directly assigned by parties to other parties through the process dedicated to certifying bodies. More details are available in the dedicated section.
Verified attributes
- The verification is carried out by the producer, according to its internal validation processes.
- In the draft of the service request, the consumer must upload any documentation that can support the verification by the producer.
Declared attributes
- The responsibility lies entirely with the declarant (consumer).
- The producer may require one or more declared attributes; for each, the consumer must explicitly declare possession before submitting the service request.
- The declaration is recorded on PDND as an explicit action through a mandatory click to activate the attribute; it is not implicit.
