[keycloak-dev] Can I use this method in RepresentationToModel?

[Marek Posolda]

The session.userStorage().addUser() adds user directly to KC persistent 
storage (JPA, Mongo) and bypasses federation.

When you're creating new user through Keycloak somehow (for example in 
admin console or during user registration), there is need to use 
"session.users().addUser()", so the user is propagated to federation 
storage as well. For example, if you have configured LDAP federation 
provider with WRITE editMode, the user will be created to LDAP as well 
in addition to Keycloak database. However during import, user usually 
already exists in LDAP as he was exported from previous environment.

It's bit similar for example for default roles. When you create new user 
in admin console/registration, default roles are added to him. However 
during import, they are not as the user is supposed to have them already 
from previously exported DB.
