You'll need to more explicitly specify what patterns a user can access, as with that constraint you're giving permission to everything under view to users with the role 'user'. For example: <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Users</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/views/*.jsp</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/views/user/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>user</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> > 2.

The roles are available from the AccessToken with getRealmAccess and getResourceAccess methods. The AccessToken can be retrieved using getToken method on KeycloakSecurityContext > Looking forward to your response.
