[keycloak-user] Advanced authorization

[Melissa Palmer]

Thanks Pedro, I will take a closer look. 
Yes I’ll put the work flow in the app. But we do want to manage the permissions in KEy,

I tried to align with the QuickStart ti explain. But it’s not necessarily on resource that I own with I want to do this. For example it could be against adding products in and ecommerce app, or transactions for a company 

It sounds like I should rather use the non 
UMA example to try this against. Would that be better? 

Thanks
Melissa

It seems you are more interested in a worflow that does not really fit this functionality in particular. I think you would need to manage this workflow from your app based on the permissions you have in Keycloak.
