[keycloak-user] No email send out while creation of ne user

[Sebastian Olscher]

Hello,

if this is an expected behavior, I´m asking myself how do I get knowledge about some essential points:

“Try to login with the newly created user”

How does the user know at which time the account is created and ready for login?
How does the user know the username for the login?
How does the user know the password for the first login?
How does the user know where to login if their might be more than one instances of “keycloak”?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Hello,

when I create a new user in the admin console of keycloak no email is send out. Neither when I add “required user actions” such as “verify email” in the user creation dialog. The only possibility to send emails is, to change to the credentials dialog within the user profile and click the “send email” button.

Try to login with the newly created user. After the user has entered username+password the verify email is sent and the user can't complete the login until the email address is verified.


Is this a wanted behaviour that no email is sended when the user is created or is this a bug? From my understanding it would be helpful to send the email directly while creating a user.

No, it's the expected behavior. Verify email and other actions have limited life span so it makes little sense to send these out when the user is created. It's much better to send these when the user is actually trying to use the account.

BTW verify email is not a welcome or account created email, it's explicitly about the user verifying the email alone. For a welcome email it would make sense to send it when the user is created. We have an outstanding jira to add that.

Rerq


Thanks,
Sebastian
