How much clients you have in mind?

Theoretically there is no any limit. At least at database level. Fact is that we didn't try to test admin console UI with very big number of clients. Feel free to create JIRA if you're seeing issues.

Another approach is to design your deployment so the number of clients is not too big. For example when adding new "machine" you can reuse already created clients (not sure if it's the approach which works for you, just a possible hint...)

I can see that the keycloak admin UI is not built with a big number in mind. For instance, when assigning "Client roles" to a realm user there is a dropdown with all clients/applications in the realm. I guess this shouldn't grow too big to be usuable. I'm working on a scenario where i need to implement authorization in a system where new machines (and their respective keycloak applications) will be added on the fly. So i'm worying about what will happen if the number starts to grow.

Hi Orestis, the alternative is also to use our admin REST api directly and invoke REST endpoints for create/update client directly without using our admin console.

For instance, i've also considered creating a new realm per machine but this won't work either. A user's identity should be global but also have access to selected machine(s). I think that concept can work only within a single realm. > Another approach is to design your deployment so the number of clients > is not too big.
