[keycloak-dev] Add roles to a client template

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hey Marek,

    When I define a role as default it is also added to the client "Effective Roles", not only to users.

    What I'm doing right now is pretty much what you described, have some realm roles and add them to the scopes of a client template. I was just trying to avoid keeping these roles at the realm level and provide a default configuration where the roles are specific for a client. Which makes more sense.

    Basically, I have three scopes:

    * uma_protection, that should be mapped to client applications acting as resource servers, only.
    * uma_authorization and kc_entitlement, that should be mapped to users as a client role for a given client app acting as a resource server. Ideally.

    In an ideal world (for privacy reasons), when you try to access a protected resource that is protected with our authz stuff, the user must consent access to his authorization data. So you may have a consent page saying "Third-party wants access to uma_authorization/kc_entitlement in Resource Server".

    As I said, global roles can also be used here, but they are not specific to a client and may not represent clearly the scope of access the user is actually consenting.

Thanks

Hey Pedro,

the default roles are always automatically added to all newly created 
users. They are not added to scopes of newly created clients (clients 
have "Full scope allowed" by default anyway). To achieve something like 
default scope, you can maybe add the roles to scope of some client 
template and then add this client template to your client. The client 
will then inherit all scopes. Is it something you meant?

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"
