For "openid", I think we can hardcode. I was thinking about adding SPI
like ScopeParamMapper or something and drive the behaviour with it,
however it won't work well and will require callbacks in various stages
(ie. IDToken itself is created at some point, but whole
AccessTokenResponse itself and control which tokens go to it is
different point.
For offline_access we already has that driven by realm role actually.

Not sure what exactly you mean. For roles, we already have the
"scopeParamRequired" flag, so we can both include and remove. For
example user is member of roleA, roleB, roleC and they have:
role-a : scopeParamRequired=false
role-b : scopeParamRequired=true
role-c : scopeParamRequired=true
and request will have "scope=role-b" then in token will be included both
role-a and role-b . Just role-c won't be (as it requires
scopeParamRequired but wasn't included in scopeParam).
We currently use it for offline_access role, which is default role, but
have scopeParamRequired, so it's included just if "scope=offline_acces"
is used.

+1 to this concept and "mapping" scope param values to roles. However
there are some things to clarify.
- OIDC specs has definition for scopes like "phone" , "email" and
"profile" . So we will need the roles for those. Isn't that confusing a
bit? IMO our RoleModel applies well for the scope parameter, just not
sure if it's not rather mis-using of role concept and bit confusing for
users?
- My understanding is, that scope is per-client thing rather than
per-realm thing? For example if you use "scope=photo", it's applicable
just for client "photogallery". Also the same scope parameter may have
different meaning for different clients ( eg. if you use "scope=admin"
in client "product-app" , the token will receive claims/permissions for
managing products. However using "scope=admin" in client "customer-app"
, the token will manage customers). So with respect to this, scope looks
to me more like either per-client thing or per-clientTemplate thing (if
some logic is common for more clients).
- We will need some way how to map value of scope parameter to
particular role.
The simple (but probably not correct) way: On role definition, we can
have something like "Scope param value" where you can configure value
"photo" and it would mean that the "scope=photo" is related to this
paricular role.
However what if there are clashes? For example someone can configure the
scope parameter value "photo" for realm role "realm-photo-role" or
client role "photogalery/client-photo-role" . Then when you use
"scope=photo", which one will be used?
So after we add roleNamespaces, I can imagine something like this:
- Each client will have reserved namespace, where all roles mapped to
"scope" parameter lives. Also each clientTemplate will have such namespace.
- After creation of client, there will be a set of corresponding roles
added automatically for the client like:
"prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/phone"
"prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/address"
"prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/profile"
"prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/offline_access"
You won't need to configure "Scope param name" as that will be based on
the roleName
- Those roles won't be default roles and won't be automatically assigned
to users. However any user, who uses "scope=phone" can request the scope
"phone" with corresponding protocolMappers and children composite roles.
- If role is assigned to user directly, it will be always used even if
it's not used in scope parameter. So user assigned to role "phone" will
automatically receive "phone" and "phone_verified" protocolMappers.
- Keycloak will browse roles from the "scope-param" namespace of
particular client, and then also roles from "scope-param" namespace of
clientTemplate. So clientTemplate can have namespace for scope
parameters, which can be used if there is some "common" scope applicable
to more clients with common set of protocolMappers from this clientTemplate.
- For the scopes like "phone" "address" and "profile" it's pretty
straightforward. It seems we will need protocolMappers for every OIDC
defined claim (address, phone, gender, birthday etc) and those will have
role required. So for example protocolMapper for "birthday" will require
role "profile" , protocolMapper for "phone" will require role "phone"
etc. Basic existing protocolMappers ( name, "preferred_username" etc) .
- For the "prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/offline_access"
role, it will have one composite role, which is current realm role
"offline_access" . The current "offline_access" realm role is default
role with scopeParamRequired=true, so it's applied just if it's
requested (directly or indirectly) through scope parameter. If client
doesn't need offline tokens and "offline_access" scope, the namespaced
role "prefix:/clients/my-client-id/scope-param/offline_access". Also if
you remove realm role "offline_access" from user, you disallow him to
request offline tokens. It's currently realm role, hence it's global
setting (so you can't reject user from offline tokens for "clientA" but
allow him request offline tokens in "clientB") .
