I'm creating a new user through the admin API. In order to do this I have to make 3 separate calls (createUser, resetPassword and addRealmLevelRoles) as the credentials and realm roles in the UserRepresentation are ignored. I then have to make another call to getEffectiveRealmLevelRoles as the getUser method doesn't return the roles. If I were to require the client level roles this would be 6 calls to create and return the user. 

Is there a reason as to why this is the case? 

As an aside, in the docs the reset password method is called "Set up a temporary password for the user" but in my experience the password is never temporary regardless of the value of the temporary flag. 

Kind regards,

Tom
