[keycloak-user] Group Policy - Claim?

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hi Christian,

Sorry about docs. I did not manage to finish everything before latest
release. Will push this and so other things soon.

In regard your questions about Group Policy.

Yes, you are basically defining a condition where User X must be a member
of Group /A/B/C.

The point here is that Authorization Services basically relies on the
information within the bearer token you sent when asking for permissions.
That is why you need to specify a "Groups Claim". This tells to the policy
from where groups should be obtained in the token.

Note that when using Group Policy, you also need to add a "Mapper" to your
resource server in order to push group membership information into tokens.
There you also specify the name of claim where groups will be located.

Regards.
Pedro Igor
