[keycloak-user] LDAP User Storage Provider web interface

[Ryan Slominski]

Hi Bruno,
  Sounds like all the buttons should be hidden in the scenario where users are not imported, defined, or even cached in Keycloak at all.   They aren’t currently and clicking the buttons is undefined in this case (hopefully they just do nothing).  Should I create a JIRA for this?

Please take a look at our documentation:
https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.keycloak.org%2Fdocs%2Flatest%2Fserver_development%2Findex.html%23import-implementation-strategy&amp;data=02%7C01%7Cryans%40jlab.org%7Cdf7d703b46c54d2c493c08d6d547ab46%7Cb4d7ee1f4fb34f0690372b5b522042ab%7C1%7C1%7C636930901124223180&amp;sdata=2g0UDriht%2BYgeEdXFiT%2B9h0YKt9UfWwobcw%2BxRePxlM%3D&amp;reserved=0.

I believe the item clarifies the "Unlink users":

"If you are moving to Keycloak as your official user store and
deprecating the old external store, you can slowly migrate applications
to use Keycloak. When all applications have been migrated, unlink the
imported user, and retire the old legacy external store."

Regards your other comments. I can be wrong, but I don't believe these
buttons will be hidden.

It seems like these buttons should not be shown with this configuration as it isn't clear they do anything.  I'm especially mystified by Unlink users button since I can't find any reference on what the heck that does.
