    Federation ID is a unique username for each user that can be shared across multiple apps. Sometimes the ID is the user's employee ID. The important part of the Federation ID is that it is not duplicated within a Salesforce org. But the user can have the same Federation ID for more than one Salesforce org

    Federation ID: It is an additional field contained in the Salesforce interface that allows admins to pick whatever username or username format they want to pass to Salesforce from their user directory for single sign-on.

    Hi
    The Federation ID is an additional field contained in the Salesforce interface that allows admins to pick whatever username or username format they want to pass to Salesforce from their user directory for single sign-on. For example, an organization may have a mix of internal employees and contractors in their directory.
