Keycloak - Create Admin User in a Realm

Question

How do I create an admin user in a realm in Keycloak? I tried /bin/add-user.sh -r myrealm -u admin -p <pwd> It gave me the error:

 * Error *
WFLYDM0065: The user supplied realm name 'myrealm' does not match the realm name discovered from the property file(s) 'ManagementRealm'.

Exception in thread "main" org.jboss.as.domain.management.security.adduser.AddUserFailedException: WFLYDM0065: The user supplied realm name 'myrealm' does not match the realm name discovered from the property file(s) 'ManagementRealm'.

I tried /bin/add-user-keycloak.sh -r myrealm -u admin -p <pwd>. It asked me to restart the server which I did but I did not see the user either.

If one knows how to make it using the python client, that would be great too.

Answer 1

1. Create regular user in a realm:
   1. Open admin console and select realm of your choice (realm selection box on top left side).
   2. Go to users (sidebar) -> add user (button on the right side)
   3. Fill in required fields and press save button.
   4. Open Credentials tab and set password.
   5. Open Role Mapping tab:
      1. Select realm-management under Client Roles.
      2. Select all available roles and press Add selected.
2. Go to http://keycloak/auth/admin/REALM_NAME/console (replace REALM_NAME with realm name in which you created the user) and login.
3. You should see admin UI only for this realm.

You can also automate user creation via Admin REST API: https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/10.0/rest-api/index.html#_users_resource

You should be able to create using add-user-keycloak command , but you need to restart the keycloak server to actually add the user. here is the documentation

/bin/add-user-keycloak.sh -r myrealm -u admin -p <password>

But before adding user you need to create realm myrealm using

  kcadm.sh create realms ........
