[keycloak-dev] Add roles to a client template

[Pedro Igor Silva]

It is related with some simplifications to authz services configuration.

In order to enable fine-grained authz, clients should be granted with specific roles to gain access to authz services. In some cases, users must consent access to his authorization data by third-party apps.

When consenting access to his authorization data, the user is actually consenting to a third-party app access to the protected resources at a specific resource server. In this case, a client role can be used to specify just that. Eg.: on the consent page you'll see a "uma_authorization in client-application-A"

I can also use realm roles to achieve the same result, but that would not be specific to a resource server/client-app. Although still a valid setup if the user wants so.

What I want to do is just create a template with these roles. I was expecting that the template could help me to avoid creating and assigning these roles manually.

This is not a blocker. As I said, realm roles can also be used to achieve the same results.

Client templates can only store roles and scope. Not sure it makes sense to
add client roles, especially not since we're planning on introducing role
namespaces in the future and that could conflict with the design around
that.

Can you elaborate on the use-case?
