[keycloak-user] How to access realms/{realm}/users/{user} with Application

[Stian Thorgersen]

There's also a Keycloak specific mechanism for accessing the account of the user associated with the token.

To do this open the scope mappings for your app/client, and select 'account' in the application roles, select 'view-profile' and click the right-arrow. This will allow your app/client to view the profile of the current user.

Then you can make a request (with bearer token) to:

/auth/rest/realms/myrealm/account

In the future we'll add support to do all account specific things through these REST endpoints to support all operations provided by the account management application.
