Parameters

• claimType
  Type: System.String

  The type of claim. Examples of claim types include first name, role and email address. The claim type provides context for the claim value, and it is usually expressed as a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). For example, the e-mail address claim type is represented as https://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2008/06/identity/claims/email.

• value
  Type: System.String

  The value of the claim. For example, if the claim type is role, a value might be contributor, and if the claim type is first name, a value might be Matt. 

• valueType
  Type: System.String

  The type of value in the claim. These are all URIs that refer to a string. They often return values from ClaimValueTypes() but that is not required.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims.SPClaim
A SPClaim object.

Remarks

This method is a helper function often used within custom implementations of the FillClaimsForEntity() method to help you create SPClaim objects.
