[keycloak-dev] Client Self-Registration and Administration Plugin

[Stian Thorgersen]

Hi,

We are planing to add more fine-grained permissions on admin endpoints in
the future, but it will be a while until we get to it. I'm not very keen on
accepting something like this now as we are planning to do fairly big
changes around this in the future. You're also the first person to ask
about having clients specific to user, other people have so far requested
groups of clients that groups of users can manage.

I'd recommend using the Realm Resource SPI to create custom endpoints to
accomplish this. You can use an attribute on the clients to store the user
that has created the client and only allow that user to modify it in the
future. You can also consider using the client registration service. The
client registration service allows anyone with a create-role or an initial
access token to create clients. When a client is created it returns a
registration access token that gives permission to modify/delete that
particular client in the future.
