Hi,

We are planing to add more fine-grained permissions on admin endpoints in the future, but it will be a while until we get to it. I'm not very keen on accepting something like this now as we are planning to do fairly big changes around this in the future. You're also the first person to ask about having clients specific to user, other people have so far requested groups of clients that groups of users can manage.

I'd recommend using the Realm Resource SPI to create custom endpoints to accomplish this. You can use an attribute on the clients to store the user that has created the client and only allow that user to modify it in the future. You can also consider using the client registration service. The client registration service allows anyone with a create-role or an initial access token to create clients. When a client is created it returns a registration access token that gives permission to modify/delete that particular client in the future.

Hello,

I’m working at the moment in a Master Thesis project in TU Berlin where we are using Keycloak for Authentication and Authorisation purposes.
We are planning on extending Keycloak in order to provide users a way to register clients/applications by themselves into the platform, while having an admin overseeing the system.

This would mean that as a user, if I have the proper rights I should be able to create and manage my own clients. With, this it comes the idea of ownership, as this would mean that a client ownership could be transferred to someone else.
Also, the admin should be able to accept, revoke and delete the clients and requests to create clients in my Keycloak.

At the moment the only option would be giving the permission to create clients to the user, but that would allow to change ANY of the possible clients.

Then, I have two questions:
  1. Would it make sense to integrate this to the Keycloak core?
  2. If it doesn’t make sense to merge it in the core, is there any plugin system to extend Keycloak’s core? I’ve seen a discussion related to a plugin system in GitHub but there is no outcome yet. We would rather like to integrate it with Keycloak itself, otherwise the other option would be creating a client that uses Keycloak’s REST API to manage the clients remotely.

Thanks a lot in advance!
