[keycloak-dev] keycloak admin access in order to crate users

[Ian Hamilton]

Hi All,

I am new to redHat and my role is to set up automation test frameworks for developers.redhat.com. 

I would like to know how to gain permissions to Keycloak admin in order create/delete new users on the fly in the tests using the Keycloak REST API? Or what the usual process is for creating users via the Keycloak.

The reason for this is; when we make a new user for a test, we have a "clean slate" which allows us great control over how to shape that user for our test. And if we make that user using a REST API call, we avoid the time penalty of having to fill out a sign-up form (not to mention having to find any emails involved in confirming an email address).

I would like to be able to do this locally, as well as in the staging environments.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance,
Ian
