[keycloak-user] Custom Authorization in Keycloak

[Muehlburger, Herbert]

Dear Keycloak Community,


we are evaluating Keycloak and have the use that that we cannot migrate authorization information (roles, permissions, ...) to Keycloak. We have this information stored in a legacy database. Is it possible to write an extension to Keycloak which handles with authorization decisions there? It would load our roles and permissions, etc. and decide if it grants access to the user or client being present. I know about the extension mechanism on writing custom User Store providers but I'm not sure if this is the right place to do that for authorization information as well?


Thank you for any help,

Best regard,

Herbert?
