keycloak-user-group-query

Demonstrates how the Keycloak Admin REST API can be used to query user groups and list group members with a service account for security reasons.

This approach was tested with the Keycloak version 18.0.0.

Keycloak setup

Create a new client in your Keycloak realm with the following settings:

• Enabled: on
• Client Protocol: openid-connect
• Access Type: confidential
• Direct Access Grants Enabled: on
• Service Accounts Enabled: on

After that, hit "Save" and copy the client secret from the "Credentials" tab for the launchSettings.json configuration.

You should now also have a "Service Account Roles" tab in your Keycloak client page.
Here you have to go to "Service Account Roles" -> "Client Roles" and select realm-management.

The following roles must be assigned to the service user:

• query-groups
• view-users

That's it. You can now set the environment variables in the launchSettings.json file and execute the program with dotnet run.
