[keycloak-user] Exporting a realm as JSON file should not contain user groups?

[Stian Thorgersen]

As it stands Keycloak syncs this to its own database and as the export is a
dump of the database it wouldn't work to remove it. In the future we are
planning on providing an option to use LDAP without syncing to the Keycloak
database. It'll be a while to we get to it though.

With regards to the deletion of groups synced from LDAP I'm not sure how we
do that for roles either, I believe the roles remain as well. Maybe Marek
can comment on this?
