Keycloak Group Roles for Streamlined Enterprise User Provisioning
PythonKeycloak is an open-source Identity and Access Management solution which is part of the Red Hat community. It allows you to easily secure your applications and services with little to no code. When it comes to user provisioning, one common requirement is setting up group roles, which allow you to assign a set of permissions to all users within a particular group. This can be especially useful in an enterprise setting where roles and permissions need to be managed at scale.
To create Keycloak group roles using Pulumi, we'll use the
pulumi_keycloak
provider. This provider allows us to manage Keycloak resources programmatically. Below, you'll find a Pulumi program written in Python that creates a Keycloak group, roles, and assigns those roles to the group for streamlined user provisioning.In the program, we start by importing the
pulumi_keycloak
provider. Then, we create a group by using thekeycloak.Group
resource. After creating the group, we define roles using thekeycloak.Role
resource. Finally, we associate those roles with the group using thekeycloak.GroupRoles
resource.Here is the Pulumi program that accomplishes this:
import pulumi import pulumi_keycloak as keycloak # Replace these variables with your own specific values realm_id = "your-realm-id" # The ID of the Keycloak realm group_name = "enterprise-users" # Name of the group role_names = ["admin", "user"] # The roles you want to create and assign to the group # Create a Keycloak group group = keycloak.Group("enterprise-group", realm_id=realm_id, name=group_name) # Create Keycloak roles and store their IDs in a list role_ids = [] for role_name in role_names: role = keycloak.Role(role_name, realm_id=realm_id, name=role_name) role_ids.append(role.id) # Assign roles to the Keycloak group using the GroupRoles resource group_roles = keycloak.GroupRoles("enterprise-group-roles", realm_id=realm_id, group_id=group.id, role_ids=role_ids) # Output the group ID and role IDs for reference pulumi.export("group_id", group.id) pulumi.export("role_ids", pulumi.Output.all(*role_ids))
This program performs the following steps:
- It imports the required Pulumi Keycloak package.
- It defines variables for the realm ID, group name, and roles.
- It creates a Keycloak Group with a given name within the specified realm.
- It iterates through a list of role names, creating a new role for each one and collecting their IDs.
- It associates those roles to the group using the
GroupRoles
resource, which takes the realm ID, group ID, and a list of role IDs. - Finally, the program exports the group and role IDs for further reference, which can be useful if these IDs need to be used elsewhere.
This program assumes you have the
pulumi_keycloak
provider configured and that you've set up access to your Keycloak instance. To use this program, replace the placeholder values with the specifics of your Keycloak deployment.If this is part of a larger Pulumi deployment, make sure to add this program to your Pulumi project. If you're new to Pulumi and don't have a project yet, you can start by creating a new Pulumi project.
To run the program, save it to a file named
__main__.py
within your Pulumi project directory, and then runpulumi up
from the command line within that directory. Pulumi will handle provisioning the resources as defined. If you need to make any changes, you can adjust your code and runpulumi up
again to update your infrastructure.Remember, if you delete resources with
pulumi destroy
or by removing them from your code and runningpulumi up
, those resources will be removed from Keycloak as well. Always proceed with caution when deleting infrastructure, especially in a production environment.
