Hello there,
This is exacly what I am struggling with at the moment. I have found a
number of things which would need clarification in documentation as well
as in examples:
1. *Custom user data properties/fields*. It seems that one has to/ought
to add custom properties to three places in the theme files:
account, admin and registration. However, the ways to add them
differ greatly, as each FTL template structure is quite different.
(Account uses account.ftl; Admin uses
partials/user-attribute-entry.ftl). Pattern definitions and
explanations are missing from examples and documentation, as far as
I can tell.
Stian wants a generic service. I disagree because I don't think it will
be used. I just look at developers.redhat.com for example, and they
have differing formatting requirements. You would end up recreating cSS
and HTML within the admin console. Not something I'm kean on doing.
2. *Editable properties per role*. Realm admins/editors could
perhaps
be able to edit all properties (except primary key/ID value) for all
the users in a realm - but we would typically like to restrict which
properties (both basic and custom attributes) are editable depending
on the roles/privileges a user has in the realm. (For example, it
would likely be a bad ide to permit users to change their names and
birthday arbitrarily after registration). How do we restrict
editability of normaly and custom user properteis - both in terms of
the data and the forms required to interact with keycloak? Pattern
definitions and explanations are missing from examples and
documentation, as far as I can tell.
We don't have a way to do this in the account service yet. You can
modify the forms to display whatever you want, but a rogue user would be
able to modify any attribute they wanted. Ugh, we probably need to fix
this.
3. *Linking users to roles/privileges in other realms.* How should
one
construct realms to grant roles & privileges automatically to users
in other realms? (For example: All Users in Literary Society A can
register for a party hosted by Literary Society B. Hence, how does
realm admin B grant role KnownGuest to all users in realm A, to
permit them to access Society B's register-to-the-event-page?
Assume, of course, that both A and B are managed by the same
Keycloak DB, so basic identity attributes should be extracted
normally from Keycloak. Neither realm admins from A or B have master
realm access.) Pattern definitions and explanations are missing from
examples and documentation, as far as I can tell.
I don't think we'll ever have the ability to link realms. If we did
ever add it it would be next year. Too much in queue at the moment.
