Let's say I'm using one realm mycomp in Keycloak to handle all users (+ master realm for Keycloak superadmin).
I'm have role of Customer Support (CS) that should be able to view users and manage their basic data like names, email, password reset etc.
I'm able to grant realm-management permissions like manage-users or view-users to any user in 3 ways:
assign directly
by creating composite role for CS
by creating group with and adding there CS
The problem is that giving manage-users rights CS end up being able to manage roles and groups so it is able to grant other users management permissions. Thats not valid for my config - it is a role of some higher level admin.
How to grant some users permissions to view and manage basic user data without allowing them to manage roles?
So in the end of the day I finally managed to find an working solution.
Problem was that Role manage-users cant be overriten by Policy.
With help of Pedro Igor Silva from Keycloak (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/KEYCLOAK-18151) I managed to setup configuration that fullfills the usecase.
With Keycloak preview feature admin_fine_grained_authz enabled I created global composite Role user-managers and granted it query-users Role from realm-management client. Then I created Policy that grants manage permission on Users resource when user has user-manager role.
That works perfectly

I have a admin role on my realm and a user-admin role for my test client.
The user-admin is only allowed to view users, edit them and map roles from the test client. I also want the user-admin to create new users.
Sadly the "Add User" Button is not displayed when i log in using a user-admin.
The only way to allow the user-admin to create users is to add the manage-users role from the ream-management client as a composite.
The problem with the manage-users role is that it also allows to view and edit groups and to map every role there is including my admin realm role.
I tried using the map-role permission from the admin role itself. That did not work and it seems that the manage-users role simply overweights the permissions of the role.
I'd expect something like a create permission for the Users ressouce but can't find anything like that.
Thanks,

net core application and trying to implement authentication and authorization. I have set of users and these users belong to different regions. For example I have region APAC and I have some users in it. Then I have roles like global admin or regional admin. Now these users are type of regional admin global admin etc. Now I want to return role claim in my token. To return role claim in my JWT token I should add app roles in manifest. So how should I return app roles now. If I select as group then all users belong to that group emits this role details. I am little bit confused here. I have grouped users according to regions. Inside each region users are of type regional admin, global admin etc and they have different permissions inside app. Segregation of these groups vs roles I am finding lot of challenge and no use full document also I found. Can some one help me to segregate these groups vs roles.
As I understand you have users with different roles under the groups segregated by the regions. When you are trying to authorize by group all the users with different roles of the group emit the group role details.
Assuming regional admin you mentioned as a custom role for your application(as there is no such role in AAD) following is a suggestable approach.
A user can be assigned to multiple groups and Roles can be assigned to individual users/groups.
Create groups separately for regional admin, global admin users and assign roles to these groups accordingly.
If you are using the role claim in the token for role-based access control, authorize applications based on the role permissions granted by the administrator to groups. Please refer this link for the detailed documentation on how to create/manage roles for an application in Azure AD.
I have a question similiar to LDAP authorization but more specifically to OBIEE and Microsoft AD.
As described in documentation, if I use BI Publisher I only need to create a couple of XMLP_% roles in Active Directory and grant them to users after AD authentication is set up.
My questions are:
Can I use similiar approach to using Analytics?
Am I obligated to use external store for user roles?
Can I use DefaultAthenticator provider for roles and grant them to Active Directory users?
I want to use existing tools only if possible. Which options do I have for storing roles apart from database tables?
You don't need to create anything inside the AD at all. You just map whatever AD groups you want to OBI application roles.
DefaultAuthenticator is the WLS-embedded LDAP. Leave that alone, otherwise you lock out your "weblogic" admin account.
In ASP.NET Boilerplate, why does it has roles and permissions to control authorization? Which is the difference between both?
Role: a group of permissions.
1. Why does ABP have roles and permissions to control authorization? What is the difference between the two?
Having both roles and permissions allows flexibility and ease for admins to control authorization.
The difference is that authorization only depends on permissions, not roles.
From https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Zero/Role-Management:
Roles are used to group permissions. When a user has a role, then he/she will have all the permissions of that role. A user can have multiple roles. The permissions of this user will be a merge of all the permissions of all assigned roles.
For example, a site moderator can be allowed to add, edit and delete any posts, including the ones written by others. A site moderator can add, edit and delete comments as well. If there are several site moderators, then a role can be easily assigned instead of individual permissions to each user.
2. Does a permission necessarily belong to a role? And does a role necessarily need permissions?
No, a permission can be assigned directly to a user.
No, a role does not need permissions. A role with no permissions is like a position (e.g. employee).
From https://aspnetboilerplate.com/Pages/Documents/Zero/Permission-Management:
Role Permissions
If we grant a permission to a role, all the users that have this role are authorized for the permission (unless explicitly prohibited for a specific user).
User Permissions
While the role-based permission management can be enough for most applications, we may need to control the permissions per user. When we define a permission setting for a user, it overrides the permission setting defined for the roles of the user.
In addition, there are also Organization Unit Roles (not documented yet). That is, a role can be assigned to an organization unit and users in that organization unit are considered to have that role.
I am new to Keycloak and I try to use it as authentication server in my solution.
I have the following entity's model: the devices are owned by a particular company to which some users belong. User with role admin can grant permission for viewing some set of devices to a regular user but only those devices that belong to the admin's company. Thus all users except admins can view only a subset of all devices in company.
Based on these requirements, I decided to make companies as groups and devices as Keycloak's resources. To evaluate permissions, I chose rule based policy.
The question is -- Can I set group as an owner of resource to check this relation in policy?
If someone is more experienced in keycloak and knows how to better represent such model, please help.
Thank you in advance.
As working on keycloak, I didn't find any way to set the multiple owners for particular resources.
I'm having the alternate option to give the access permission, that owners have for their resources.
Let say Resource A owner is OWNER A, now there are two more user USER A and USER B. If suppose OWNER A already share the access permission to USER A and USER A wants to share Resource A to USER B on behalf of the Resource owner, then how should USER A can share the resource scopes to USER B?
Answer
Keycloak provides the facility of token exchanging or impersonation feature. With the help of this USER A can able to share the resources to USER B on behalf of the OWNER A (Owner of Resource A).
Reference: You just need to follow this Keycloak Impersonation
Add comments if you still face the problem
In Keycloak, you may represent a particular company (or any organization or organizational unit) as a realm:
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#core-concepts-and-terms
Create a new realm:
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#_create-realm
Then represent the company's users as users in the company's Keycloak realm
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#user-management
... and devices as Keycloak Clients (any kind of resource you want enforce permissions on is a Client in Keycloak model):
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#core-concepts-and-terms
An admin role is already defined by default for each role (Roles menu).
Instructions tested on Keycloak 4.0.0.
For each device, create the corresponding Client in Keycloak (Clients menu). Switch on Permissions Enabled on the Permissions tab of the new client. A list of admin console permissions will appear just below the switch button, such as the view permission.
Then, in order to assign the permission to view the device to some user, the admin should click on the view permission (link) just mentioned, create a User Policy (Create Policy... listbox) and select the users (assignees) in the Users field.
In order to assign the permission on multiple devices to the same group of people, use a Group or Role Policy instead (put the users in the same group before).
In order to assign the permission to groups of devices, use one Group/Role per group of device, then assign users to the Group/Role.
