By management REST API you mean the API the admin console uses?
Just to make sure I understand your suggestion correctly:
* I would use the management REST API (same API the admin console uses)
from my backend application
* my backend application would need a user ("application user") within the
keycloak-admin realm
* when accessing the management REST API, I would add an "Authorization:
Bearer ..." header with the token I can obtain from
.../auth/rest/realms/MY-REALM/tokens/grants/access
Cheers,
Nils

IMO, you should not use the model directly in your applications.
The
management REST API gives you full access to security metadata. Use
that. Plus, in the very near future (after beta-1 release) we'll be
implementing a cache and if you are modifying data directly, there will
be possibilities of this cache using stale data.

I'm
not sure when we'll have time to implement that.
