== Admin CLI

With {project_name}, you can perform administration tasks from the command-line interface (CLI) by using the Admin CLI command-line tool.

=== Installing the Admin CLI

{project_name} packages the Admin CLI server distribution with the execution scripts in the `bin` directory.

The Linux script is called `kcadm.sh`, and the script for Windows is called `kcadm.bat`. Add the {project_name} server directory to your `PATH` to use the client from any location on your file system.

For example:

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ export PATH=$PATH:$KEYCLOAK_HOME/bin
$ kcadm.sh
----

* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> set PATH=%PATH%;%KEYCLOAK_HOME%\bin
c:\> kcadm
----

[NOTE]
====
You must set the `KEYCLOAK_HOME` environment variable to the path where you extracted the {project_name} Server distribution.

To avoid repetition, the rest of this document only uses Windows examples in places where the CLI differences are more than just in the `kcadm` command name.
====


=== Using the Admin CLI

The Admin CLI makes HTTP requests to Admin REST endpoints. Access to the Admin REST endpoints requires authentication.

[NOTE]
====
Consult the Admin REST API documentation for details about JSON attributes for specific endpoints.
====

. Start an authenticated session by logging in. You can now perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
+
For example:
+
* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap",subs="attributes+"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} --realm demo --user admin --client admin
$ kcadm.sh create realms -s realm=demorealm -s enabled=true -o
$ CID=$(kcadm.sh create clients -r demorealm -s clientId=my_client -s 'redirectUris=["http://localhost:8980/myapp/*"]' -i)
$ kcadm.sh get clients/$CID/installation/providers/keycloak-oidc-keycloak-json
----
+
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap",subs="attributes+"]
----
c:\> kcadm config credentials --server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} --realm demo --user admin --client admin
c:\> kcadm create realms -s realm=demorealm -s enabled=true -o
c:\> kcadm create clients -r demorealm -s clientId=my_client -s "redirectUris=[\"http://localhost:8980/myapp/*\"]" -i > clientid.txt
c:\> set /p CID=<clientid.txt
c:\> kcadm get clients/%CID%/installation/providers/keycloak-oidc-keycloak-json
----

. In a production environment, access {project_name} by using `https:` to avoid exposing tokens. If a trusted certificate authority, included in Java's default certificate truststore, has not issued a server's certificate, prepare a `truststore.jks` file and instruct the Admin CLI to use it.
+
For example:
+
* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config truststore --trustpass $PASSWORD ~/.keycloak/truststore.jks
----
+
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm config truststore --trustpass %PASSWORD% %HOMEPATH%\.keycloak\truststore.jks
----

=== Sensitive Options

Sensitive values, such as passwords, may be specified as command options. That is generally not recommended. There are also mechanisms by which you can be prompted for the sensitive value - by either omitting the option or providing a value or -. Finally all will have a corresponding env variable that can be used instead - check the help of the command you are running to see all possible options.

=== Authenticating

When you log in with the Admin CLI, you specify:

* A server endpoint URL
* A realm
* A user name

Another option is to specify a clientId only, which creates a unique service account for you to use.

When you log in using a user name, use a password for the specified user. When you log in using a clientId, you need the client secret only, not the user password. You can also use the `Signed JWT` rather than the client secret.

Ensure the account used for the session has the proper permissions to invoke Admin REST API operations. For example, the `realm-admin` role of the `realm-management` client can  administer the realm of the user.

Two primary mechanisms are available for authentication. One mechanism uses `kcadm config credentials` to start an authenticated session.

[options="nowrap",subs="attributes+"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} --realm master --user admin
----

This mechanism maintains an authenticated session between the `kcadm` command invocations by saving the obtained access token and its associated refresh token. It can maintain other secrets in a private configuration file. See the <<_working_with_alternative_configurations, next chapter>> for more information.

The second mechanism authenticates each command invocation for the duration of the invocation. This mechanism increases the load on the server and the time spent on round trips obtaining tokens. The benefit of this approach is that it is unnecessary to save tokens between invocations, so nothing is saved to disk. {project_name} uses this mode when the `--no-config` argument is specified.

For example, when performing an operation, specify all the information required for authentication.
[options="nowrap",subs="attributes+"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms --no-config --server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} --realm master --user admin
----

Run the `kcadm.sh help` command for more information on using the Admin CLI.

Run the `kcadm.sh config credentials --help` command for more information about starting an authenticated session.

If you do not specify the --password option (it is generally recommended to not provide passwords as part of the command), you will be prompted for a password unless one is specified as the environment variable KC_CLI_PASSWORD.

[[_working_with_alternative_configurations]]
=== Working with alternative configurations

By default, the Admin CLI maintains a configuration file named `kcadm.config`. {project_name} places this file in the user's home directory.
In Linux-based systems, the full pathname is `$HOME/.keycloak/kcadm.config`.
In Windows, the full pathname is `%HOMEPATH%\.keycloak\kcadm.config`.

You can use the `--config` option to point to a different file or location so you can maintain multiple authenticated sessions in parallel.

[NOTE]
====
Perform operations tied to a single configuration file from a single thread.
====

Ensure the configuration file is invisible to other users on the system. It contains access tokens and secrets that must be private. {project_name} creates the `~/.keycloak` directory and its contents automatically with proper access limits. If the directory already exists, {project_name} does not update the directory's permissions.

It is possible to avoid storing secrets inside a configuration file, but doing so is inconvenient and increases the number of token requests. Use the `--no-config` option with all commands and specify the authentication information the `config credentials` command requires with each invocation of `kcadm`.

=== Basic operations and resource URIs

The Admin CLI can generically perform CRUD operations against Admin REST API endpoints with additional commands that simplify particular tasks.

The main usage pattern is listed here:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh get ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh update ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh delete ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
----

The `create`, `get`, `update`, and `delete` commands map to the HTTP verbs `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`, respectively.
ENDPOINT is a target resource URI and can be absolute (starting with `http:` or `https:`) or relative, that {project_name} uses to compose absolute URLs in the following format:

[options="nowrap"]
----
SERVER_URI/admin/realms/REALM/ENDPOINT
----

For example, if you authenticate against the server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} and realm is `master`, using `users` as ENDPOINT creates the http://localhost:8080{kc_admins_path}/realms/master/users resource URL.

If you set ENDPOINT to `clients`, the effective resource URI is http://localhost:8080{kc_admins_path}/realms/master/clients.

{project_name} has a `realms` endpoint that is the container for realms. It resolves to:
[options="nowrap"]
----
SERVER_URI/admin/realms
----

{project_name} has a `serverinfo` endpoint. This endpoint is independent of realms.

When you authenticate as a user with realm-admin powers, you may need to perform commands on multiple realms. If so, specify the `-r` option to tell the CLI which realm the command is to execute against explicitly. Instead of using `REALM` as specified by the `--realm` option of `kcadm.sh config credentials`, the command uses `TARGET_REALM`.

[options="nowrap"]
----
SERVER_URI/admin/realms/TARGET_REALM/ENDPOINT
----

For example:
[options="nowrap",subs="attributes+"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080{kc_base_path} --realm master --user admin
$ kcadm.sh create users -s username=testuser -s enabled=true -r demorealm
----

In this example, you start a session authenticated as the `admin` user in the `master` realm. You then perform a POST call against the resource URL `http://localhost:8080{kc_admins_path}/realms/demorealm/users`.

The `create` and `update` commands send a JSON body to the server. You can use `-f FILENAME` to read a pre-made document from a file. When you can use the `-f -` option, {project_name} reads the message body from the standard input. You can specify individual attributes and their values, as seen in the `create users` example. {project_name} composes the attributes into a JSON body and sends them to the server.

[NOTE]
====
The value in name=value pairs used in --set, -s options, are assumed to be JSON. If it cannot be parsed as valid JSON, then it will be sent to the server as a text value.

If the value is enclosed in quotes after shell processing, but is not valid JSON, the quotes will be stripped and the rest of the value will be sent as text. This behavior is deprecated, please consider specifying your value without quotes or a valid JSON string literal with double quotes.
====

Several methods are available in {project_name} to update a resource using the `update` command. You can determine the current state of a resource and save it to a file, edit that file, and send it to the server for an update.

For example:
[options="nowraps"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms/demorealm > demorealm.json
$ vi demorealm.json
$ kcadm.sh update realms/demorealm -f demorealm.json
----

This method updates the resource on the server with the attributes in the sent JSON document.

Another method is to perform an on-the-fly update by using the `-s, --set` options to set new values.

For example:
[options="nowraps"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update realms/demorealm -s enabled=false
----

This method sets the `enabled` attribute to `false`.

By default, the `update` command performs a `get` and then merges the new attribute values with existing values. In some cases, the endpoint may support the `put` command but not the `get` command. You can use the `-n` option to perform a no-merge update, which performs a `put` command without first running a `get` command.


=== Realm operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a new realm

Use the `create` command on the `realms` endpoint to create a new enabled realm. Set the attributes to `realm` and `enabled`.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create realms -s realm=demorealm -s enabled=true
----

{project_name} disables realms by default. You can use a realm immediately for authentication by enabling it.

A description for a new object can also be in JSON format.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create realms -f demorealm.json
----

You can send a JSON document with realm attributes directly from a file or pipe the document to standard input.

For example:

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create realms -f - << EOF
{ "realm": "demorealm", "enabled": true }
EOF
----

* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> echo { "realm": "demorealm", "enabled": true } | kcadm create realms -f -
----

[discrete]
==== Listing existing realms

This command returns a list of all realms.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms
----

[NOTE]
====
{project_name} filters the list of realms on the server to return realms a user can see only.
====

The list of all realm attributes can be verbose, and most users are interested in a subset of attributes, such as the realm name and the enabled status of the realm. You can specify the attributes to return by using the `--fields` option.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms --fields realm,enabled
----

You can display the result as comma-separated values.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms --fields realm --format csv --noquotes
----

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific realm

Append a realm name to a collection URI to get an individual realm.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms/master
----

[discrete]
==== Updating a realm

. Use the `-s` option to set new values for the attributes when you do not want to change all of the realm's attributes.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update realms/demorealm -s enabled=false
----
. If you want to set all writable attributes to new values:

.. Run a `get` command.
.. Edit the current values in the JSON file.
.. Resubmit.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms/demorealm > demorealm.json
$ vi demorealm.json
$ kcadm.sh update realms/demorealm -f demorealm.json
----

[discrete]
==== Deleting a realm

Run the following command to delete a realm:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete realms/demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Turning on all login page options for the realm

Set the attributes that control specific capabilities to `true`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update realms/demorealm -s registrationAllowed=true -s registrationEmailAsUsername=true -s rememberMe=true -s verifyEmail=true -s resetPasswordAllowed=true -s editUsernameAllowed=true
----

[discrete]
==== Listing the realm keys

Use the `get` operation on the `keys` endpoint of the target realm.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Generating new realm keys

. Get the ID of the target realm before adding a new RSA-generated key pair.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms/demorealm --fields id --format csv --noquotes
----
. Add a new key provider with a higher priority than the existing providers as revealed by `kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm`.
+
For example:
+
* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create components -r demorealm -s name=rsa-generated -s providerId=rsa-generated -s providerType=org.keycloak.keys.KeyProvider -s parentId=959844c1-d149-41d7-8359-6aa527fca0b0 -s 'config.priority=["101"]' -s 'config.enabled=["true"]' -s 'config.active=["true"]' -s 'config.keySize=["2048"]'
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm create components -r demorealm -s name=rsa-generated -s providerId=rsa-generated -s providerType=org.keycloak.keys.KeyProvider -s parentId=959844c1-d149-41d7-8359-6aa527fca0b0 -s "config.priority=[\"101\"]" -s "config.enabled=[\"true\"]" -s "config.active=[\"true\"]" -s "config.keySize=[\"2048\"]"
----
. Set the `parentId` attribute to the value of the target realm's ID.
+
The newly added key is now the active key, as revealed by `kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm`.

[discrete]
==== Adding new realm keys from a Java Key Store file

. Add a new key provider to add a new key pair pre-prepared as a JKS file.
+
For example, on:
+
* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create components -r demorealm -s name=java-keystore -s providerId=java-keystore -s providerType=org.keycloak.keys.KeyProvider -s parentId=959844c1-d149-41d7-8359-6aa527fca0b0 -s 'config.priority=["101"]' -s 'config.enabled=["true"]' -s 'config.active=["true"]' -s 'config.keystore=["/opt/keycloak/keystore.jks"]' -s 'config.keystorePassword=["secret"]' -s 'config.keyPassword=["secret"]' -s 'config.keyAlias=["localhost"]'
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm create components -r demorealm -s name=java-keystore -s providerId=java-keystore -s providerType=org.keycloak.keys.KeyProvider -s parentId=959844c1-d149-41d7-8359-6aa527fca0b0 -s "config.priority=[\"101\"]" -s "config.enabled=[\"true\"]" -s "config.active=[\"true\"]" -s "config.keystore=[\"/opt/keycloak/keystore.jks\"]" -s "config.keystorePassword=[\"secret\"]" -s "config.keyPassword=[\"secret\"]" -s "config.keyAlias=[\"localhost\"]"
----
. Ensure you change the attribute values for `keystore`, `keystorePassword`, `keyPassword`, and `alias` to match your specific keystore.
. Set the `parentId` attribute to the value of the target realm's ID.

[discrete]
==== Making the key passive or disabling the key

. Identify the key you want to make passive.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm
----
. Use the key's `providerId` attribute to construct an endpoint URI, such as `components/PROVIDER_ID`.
. Perform an `update`.
+
For example:
+
* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update components/PROVIDER_ID -r demorealm -s 'config.active=["false"]'
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm update components/PROVIDER_ID -r demorealm -s "config.active=[\"false\"]"
----
+
You can update other key attributes:

* Set a new `enabled` value to disable the key, for example, `config.enabled=["false"]`.
* Set a new `priority` value to change the key's priority, for example, `config.priority=["110"]`.

[discrete]
==== Deleting an old key

. Ensure the key you are deleting is inactive and you have disabled it. This action is to prevent existing tokens held by applications and users from failing.
. Identify the key to delete.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm
----
. Use the `providerId` of the key to perform the delete.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete components/PROVIDER_ID -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Configuring event logging for a realm

Use the `update` command on the `events/config` endpoint.

The `eventsListeners` attribute contains a list of EventListenerProviderFactory IDs, specifying all event listeners that receive events. Attributes are available that control built-in event storage, so you can query past events using the Admin REST API. {project_name} has separate control over the logging of service calls (`eventsEnabled`) and the  auditing events triggered by the Admin Console or Admin REST API (`adminEventsEnabled`). You can set up the `eventsExpiration` event to expire to prevent your database from filling. {project_name} sets `eventsExpiration` to time-to-live expressed in seconds.

You can set up a built-in event listener that receives all events and logs the events through JBoss-logging. Using the `org.keycloak.events` logger, {project_name} logs error events as `WARN` and other events as `DEBUG`.

For example:

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s 'eventsListeners=["jboss-logging"]'
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm update events/config -r demorealm -s "eventsListeners=[\"jboss-logging\"]"
----

For example:

You can turn on storage for all available ERROR events, not including auditing events, for two days so you can retrieve the events through Admin REST.

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s eventsEnabled=true -s 'enabledEventTypes=["LOGIN_ERROR","REGISTER_ERROR","LOGOUT_ERROR","CODE_TO_TOKEN_ERROR","CLIENT_LOGIN_ERROR","FEDERATED_IDENTITY_LINK_ERROR","REMOVE_FEDERATED_IDENTITY_ERROR","UPDATE_EMAIL_ERROR","UPDATE_PROFILE_ERROR","UPDATE_PASSWORD_ERROR","UPDATE_TOTP_ERROR","UPDATE_CREDENTIAL_ERROR","VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR","REMOVE_TOTP_ERROR","REMOVE_CREDENTIAL_ERROR","SEND_VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR","SEND_RESET_PASSWORD_ERROR","SEND_IDENTITY_PROVIDER_LINK_ERROR","RESET_PASSWORD_ERROR","IDENTITY_PROVIDER_FIRST_LOGIN_ERROR","IDENTITY_PROVIDER_POST_LOGIN_ERROR","CUSTOM_REQUIRED_ACTION_ERROR","EXECUTE_ACTIONS_ERROR","CLIENT_REGISTER_ERROR","CLIENT_UPDATE_ERROR","CLIENT_DELETE_ERROR"]' -s eventsExpiration=172800
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm update events/config -r demorealm -s eventsEnabled=true -s "enabledEventTypes=[\"LOGIN_ERROR\",\"REGISTER_ERROR\",\"LOGOUT_ERROR\",\"CODE_TO_TOKEN_ERROR\",\"CLIENT_LOGIN_ERROR\",\"FEDERATED_IDENTITY_LINK_ERROR\",\"REMOVE_FEDERATED_IDENTITY_ERROR\",\"UPDATE_EMAIL_ERROR\",\"UPDATE_PROFILE_ERROR\",\"UPDATE_PASSWORD_ERROR\",\"UPDATE_TOTP_ERROR\",\"UPDATE_CREDENTIAL_ERROR\",\"VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR\",\"REMOVE_TOTP_ERROR\",\"REMOVE_CREDENTIAL_ERROR\",\"SEND_VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR\",\"SEND_RESET_PASSWORD_ERROR\",\"SEND_IDENTITY_PROVIDER_LINK_ERROR\",\"RESET_PASSWORD_ERROR\",\"IDENTITY_PROVIDER_FIRST_LOGIN_ERROR\",\"IDENTITY_PROVIDER_POST_LOGIN_ERROR\",\"CUSTOM_REQUIRED_ACTION_ERROR\",\"EXECUTE_ACTIONS_ERROR\",\"CLIENT_REGISTER_ERROR\",\"CLIENT_UPDATE_ERROR\",\"CLIENT_DELETE_ERROR\"]" -s eventsExpiration=172800
----

You can reset stored event types to *all available event types*. Setting the value to an empty list is the same as enumerating all.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s enabledEventTypes=[]
----

You can enable storage of auditing events.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s adminEventsEnabled=true -s adminEventsDetailsEnabled=true
----

You can get the last 100 events. The events are ordered from newest to oldest.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get events --offset 0 --limit 100
----

You can delete all saved events.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm delete events
----

[discrete]
==== Flushing the caches

. Use the `create` command with one of these endpoints to clear caches:
* `clear-realm-cache`
* `clear-user-cache`
* `clear-keys-cache`

. Set `realm` to the same value as the target realm.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create clear-realm-cache -r demorealm -s realm=demorealm
$ kcadm.sh create clear-user-cache -r demorealm -s realm=demorealm
$ kcadm.sh create clear-keys-cache -r demorealm -s realm=demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Importing a realm from exported .json file

. Use the `create` command on the `partialImport` endpoint.
. Set `ifResourceExists` to `FAIL`, `SKIP`, or `OVERWRITE`.
. Use `-f` to submit the exported realm `.json` file.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create partialImport -r demorealm2 -s ifResourceExists=FAIL -o -f demorealm.json
----
+
If the realm does not yet exist, create it first.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create realms -s realm=demorealm2 -s enabled=true
----


=== Role operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a realm role

Use the `roles` endpoint to create a realm role.

[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create roles -r demorealm -s name=user -s 'description=Regular user with a limited set of permissions'
----

[discrete]
==== Creating a client role

. Identify the client.
. Use the `get` command to list the available clients.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients -r demorealm --fields id,clientId
----
. Create a new role by using the `clientId` attribute to construct an endpoint URI, such as `clients/ID/roles`.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create clients/a95b6af3-0bdc-4878-ae2e-6d61a4eca9a0/roles -r demorealm -s name=editor -s 'description=Editor can edit, and publish any article'
----

[discrete]
==== Listing realm roles

Use the `get` command on the `roles` endpoint to list existing realm roles.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get roles -r demorealm
----

You can use the `get-roles` command also.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Listing client roles

{project_name} has a dedicated `get-roles` command to simplify the listing of realm and client roles. The command is an extension of the `get` command and behaves the same as the `get` command but with additional semantics for listing roles.

Use the `get-roles` command by passing it the clientId (`--cclientid`) option or the `id` (`--cid`) option to identify the client to list client roles.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --cclientid realm-management
----

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific realm role

Use the `get` command and the role `name` to construct an endpoint URI for a specific realm role, `roles/ROLE_NAME`, where `user` is the existing role's name.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get roles/user -r demorealm
----

You can use the `get-roles` command, passing it a role name (`--rolename` option) or ID (`--roleid` option).

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --rolename user
----

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific client role

Use the `get-roles` command, passing it the clientId attribute (`--cclientid` option) or ID attribute (`--cid` option) to identify the client, and pass the role name (`--rolename` option) or the role ID attribute (`--roleid`) to identify a specific client role.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --cclientid realm-management --rolename manage-clients
----

[discrete]
==== Updating a realm role

Use the `update` command with the endpoint URI you used to get a specific realm role.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update roles/user -r demorealm -s 'description=Role representing a regular user'
----

[discrete]
==== Updating a client role

Use the `update` command with the endpoint URI that you used to get a specific client role.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update clients/a95b6af3-0bdc-4878-ae2e-6d61a4eca9a0/roles/editor -r demorealm -s 'description=User that can edit, and publish articles'
----

[discrete]
==== Deleting a realm role

Use the `delete` command with the endpoint URI that you used to get a specific realm role.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete roles/user -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Deleting a client role

Use the `delete` command with the endpoint URI that you used to get a specific client role.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete clients/a95b6af3-0bdc-4878-ae2e-6d61a4eca9a0/roles/editor -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Listing assigned, available, and effective realm roles for a composite role

Use the `get-roles` command to list assigned, available, and effective realm roles for a composite role.

. To list *assigned* realm roles for the composite role, specify the target composite role by name (`--rname` option) or ID (`--rid` option).
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --rname testrole
----
. Use the `--effective` option to list *effective* realm roles.
+
For example:
+

----

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific client

Use the client ID to construct an endpoint URI that targets a specific client, such as `clients/ID`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients/c7b8547f-e748-4333-95d0-410b76b3f4a3 -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Getting the current secret for a specific client

Use the client ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as `clients/ID/client-secret`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients/$CID/client-secret -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Generate a new secret for a specific client

Use the client ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as `clients/ID/client-secret`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create clients/$CID/client-secret -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Updating the current secret for a specific client

Use the client ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as `clients/ID`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update clients/$CID -s "secret=newSecret" -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Getting an adapter configuration file (keycloak.json) for a specific client

Use the client ID to construct an endpoint URI that targets a specific client, such as `clients/ID/installation/providers/keycloak-oidc-keycloak-json`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients/c7b8547f-e748-4333-95d0-410b76b3f4a3/installation/providers/keycloak-oidc-keycloak-json -r demorealm

----

[discrete]
==== Adding or removing roles for client's service account

A client's service account is a user account with username `service-account-CLIENT_ID`. You can perform the same user operations on this account as a regular account.


=== User operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a user

Run the `create` command on the `users` endpoint to create a new user.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create users -r demorealm -s username=testuser -s enabled=true
----

[discrete]
==== Listing users

Use the `users` endpoint to list users. The target user must change their password the next time they log in.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get users -r demorealm --offset 0 --limit 1000
----
You can filter users by `username`, `firstName`, `lastName`, or `email`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get users -r demorealm -q q=email:google.com
$ kcadm.sh get users -r demorealm -q q=username:testuser
----
[NOTE]
====
Filtering does not use exact matching. This example matches the value of the `username` attribute against the `\*testuser*` pattern.
====

For clients, groups, and users you can filter across multiple attributes by specifying a more complex `q` query parameter.  you may use something like -q q="field1:value1 field2:value2". {project_name} returns users that match the condition for all the attributes only.

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific user

Use the user ID to compose an endpoint URI, such as `users/USER_ID`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get users/0ba7a3fd-6fd8-48cd-a60b-2e8fd82d56e2 -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Updating a user

Use the `update` command with the same endpoint URI that you use to get a specific user.

For example:

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update users/0ba7a3fd-6fd8-48cd-a60b-2e8fd82d56e2 -r demorealm -s 'requiredActions=["VERIFY_EMAIL","UPDATE_PROFILE","CONFIGURE_TOTP","UPDATE_PASSWORD"]'
----
* Windows:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
c:\> kcadm update users/0ba7a3fd-6fd8-48cd-a60b-2e8fd82d56e2 -r demorealm -s "requiredActions=[\"VERIFY_EMAIL\",\"UPDATE_PROFILE\",\"CONFIGURE_TOTP\",\"UPDATE_PASSWORD\"]"
----

[discrete]
==== Deleting a user

Use the `delete` command with the same endpoint URI that you use to get a specific user.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete users/0ba7a3fd-6fd8-48cd-a60b-2e8fd82d56e2 -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Resetting a user's password

Use the dedicated `set-password` command to reset a user's password.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh set-password -r demorealm --username testuser --new-password NEWPASSWORD --temporary
----
This command sets a temporary password for the user. The target user must change the password the next time they log in.

You can use `--userid` to specify the user by using the `id` attribute.

You can achieve the same result using the `update` command on an endpoint constructed from the one you used to get a specific user, such as `users/USER_ID/reset-password`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update users/0ba7a3fd-6fd8-48cd-a60b-2e8fd82d56e2/reset-password -r demorealm -s type=password -s value=NEWPASSWORD -s temporary=true -n
----
The `-n` parameter ensures that {project_name} performs the `PUT` command without performing a `GET` command before the `PUT` command. This is necessary because the `reset-password` endpoint does not support `GET`.

[discrete]
==== Listing assigned, available, and effective realm roles for a user

You can use a `get-roles` command to list assigned, available, and effective realm roles for a user.

.  Specify the target user by user name or ID to list the user's *assigned* realm roles.

+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --uusername testuser --effective
----
. Use the `--available` option to list realm roles that you can add to a user.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --uusername testuser --available
----

[discrete]

+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --uusername testuser --cclientid realm-management
----
. Use the `--effective` option to list *effective* realm roles.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----

. Use the ID to compose an endpoint URI, such as `users/ID/sessions`.
. Use the `get` command to retrieve a list of the user's sessions.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get users/6da5ab89-3397-4205-afaa-e201ff638f9e/sessions -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Logging out a user from a specific session

. Determine the session's ID as described earlier.
. Use the session's ID to compose an endpoint URI, such as `sessions/ID`.
. Use the `delete` command to invalidate the session.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete sessions/d0eaa7cc-8c5d-489d-811a-69d3c4ec84d1 -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Logging out a user from all sessions

Use the user's ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as `users/ID/logout`.

Use the `create` command to perform `POST` on that endpoint URI.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create users/6da5ab89-3397-4205-afaa-e201ff638f9e/logout -r demorealm -s realm=demorealm -s user=6da5ab89-3397-4205-afaa-e201ff638f9e
