Re: [keycloak-dev] Filtering in New Account Console

On 07. 10. 19 18:09, Stian Thorgersen wrote: Marek - One big difference between the new and the old console is that the old console only listed applications the user was currently logged-in to (basically it was listed in a session, offline or regular). The new console also lists applications that are available to the user to log-in to. No, the old account console doesn't list only applications the user is currently logged-in to. It also lists all the applications available to the user. The old account console basically shows all the clients, which matches this pseudo-condition: (client is NOT bearer-only && (client has consent required || (user has permission for at least one role with any client scope))) The last sub-condition is a bit tricky, but simply said, all the clients, which are allowed to retrieve offline token are listed in the old console. Which are defacto almost all clients, which are not bearer-only. My point is, that new account console doesn't have any separate page to manage offline tokens, is it correct? So the "Applications" page of new account console will be still used to revoke offline tokens and consents, right? In that case, the new account console should display all the clients, for which user can obtain consent or offline token. And offline token can by default be retrieved for almost every client in the realm, which is not bearer-only. Which would mean that filtering won't help to filter too much clients. Hence I guess pagination might be probably needed. Marek The new console should list applications within a session in the same way as it is done in the old console - although not sure removing bearer-only is correct. For regular sessions only apps that can do a login is registered in the session, for offline sessions the client should be listed regardless of its type. What we've been discussing here is what is the list of applications available to a user, but that are not part of the session. What you are suggesting doesn't make all that much sense to me in this context.
