If more than one user has the same value for the field that you select here, those two users will log in as a single user on Wire. And if the value were to change, users will be re-assigned to a new account at the next login. Usually, email is a safe choice but you should evaluate it for your case.

The app has been created. Switch to the “Sign-On” tab
Find the “Identity Provider Metadata” link. Copy the link address (normally done by right-clicking on the link and selecting “Copy link location” or a similar item in the menu).
Store the link address somewhere for a future step.
Switch to the “Assignments” tab
Make sure that some users (or everyone) is assigned to the application. These are the users that will be allowed to log in to Wire using Single Sign On. Add the relevant users to the list with the “Assign” button.
