== The Admin CLI

In previous chapters, we described how to use the {project_name} Admin Console to perform administrative tasks. You can also perform those tasks from the command-line interface (CLI) by using the Admin CLI command-line tool.


=== Installing the Admin CLI

The Admin CLI is packaged inside {project_name} Server distribution. You can find execution scripts inside the [filename]`bin` directory.

The Linux script is called [filename]`kcadm.sh`, and the script for Windows is called [filename]`kcadm.bat`.

You can add the {project_name} server directory to your [filename]`PATH` to use the client from any location on your file system.

For example, on:

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

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

We assume the `KEYCLOAK_HOME` environment (env) variable is set to the path where you extracted the {project_name} Server distribution.

[NOTE]
====
To avoid repetition, the rest of this document only gives Windows examples in places where the difference in the CLI is more than just in the [command]`kcadm` command name.
====


=== Using the Admin CLI

The Admin CLI works by making HTTP requests to Admin REST endpoints. Access to them is protected and requires authentication.

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

. Start an authenticated session by providing credentials, that is, logging in. You are ready to perform create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
+
For example, on

* Linux:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080/auth --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"]
----
c:\> kcadm config credentials --server http://localhost:8080/auth --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, you must access {project_name} with `https:` to avoid exposing tokens to network sniffers. If a server's certificate is not issued by one of the trusted certificate authorities (CAs) that are included in Java's default certificate truststore, prepare a [filename]`truststore.jks` file and instruct the Admin CLI to use it.
+
For example, on:

* 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
----


=== Authenticating

When you log in with the Admin CLI, you specify a server endpoint URL and a realm, and then you specify a user name. Another option is to specify only a clientId, which results in using a special "service account". When you log in using a user name, you must use a password for the specified user. When you log in using a clientId, you only need the client secret, not the user password. You could also use [command]`Signed JWT` instead of the client secret.

Make sure 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 allows the user to administer the realm within which the user is defined.

There are two primary mechanisms for authentication. One mechanism uses [command]`kcadm config credentials` to start an authenticated session.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080/auth --realm master --user admin --password admin
----

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

The second approach only authenticates each command invocation for the duration of that invocation. This approach increases the load on the server and the time spent with roundtrips obtaining tokens. The benefit of this approach is not needing to save any tokens between invocations, which means nothing is saved to disk. This mode is used when the [command]`--no-config` argument is specified.

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

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

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


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

By default, the Admin CLI automatically maintains a configuration file called [filename]`kcadm.config` located under the user's home directory. In Linux-based systems, the full path name is [filename]`$HOME/.keycloak/kcadm.config`. On Windows, the full path name is [filename]`%HOMEPATH%\.keycloak\kcadm.config`. You can use the [command]`--config` option to point to a different file or location so you can maintain multiple authenticated sessions in parallel.

[NOTE]
====
It is best to perform operations tied to a single configuration file from a single thread.
====

Make sure you do not make the configuration file visible to other users on the system. It contains access tokens and secrets that should be kept private. By default, the [filename]`~/.keycloak` directory and its content are created automatically with proper access limits. If the directory already exists, its permissions are not updated.

If your unique circumstances require you to avoid storing secrets inside a configuration file, you can do so. It will be less convenient and you will have to make more token requests. To not store secrets, use the [command]`--no-config` option with all your commands and specify all the authentication information needed by the [command]`config credentials` command with each [command]`kcadm` invocation.

=== Basic operations and resource URIs

The Admin CLI allows you to generically perform CRUD operations against Admin REST API endpoints with additional commands that simplify performing certain tasks.

The main usage pattern is listed below, where the [command]`create`, [command]`get`, [command]`update`, and [command]`delete` commands are mapped to the HTTP verbs `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE`, respectively.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh get ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh update ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
$ kcadm.sh delete ENDPOINT [ARGUMENTS]
----

ENDPOINT is a target resource URI and can either be absolute (starting with `http:` or `https:`) or relative, used to compose an absolute URL of the following format:
[options="nowrap"]
----
SERVER_URI/admin/realms/REALM/ENDPOINT
----

For example, if you authenticate against the server http://localhost:8080/auth and realm is [filename]`master`, then using [filename]`users` as ENDPOINT results in the resource URL http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/realms/master/users.

If you set ENDPOINT to [filename]`clients`, the effective resource URI would be http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/realms/master/clients.

There is a [filename]`realms` endpoint that is treated slightly differently because it is the container for realms. It resolves to:
[options="nowrap"]
----
SERVER_URI/admin/realms
----

There is also a [filename]`serverinfo` endpoint, which is treated the same way because it is independent of realms.

When you authenticate as a user with realm-admin powers, you might need to perform commands on multiple realms. In that case, specify the [command]`-r` option to tell explicitly which realm the command should be executed against. Instead of using [filename]`REALM` as specified via the [command]`--realm` option of [command]`kcadm.sh config credentials`, the [filename]`TARGET_REALM` is used.

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

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

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

The [command]`create` and [command]`update` commands send a JSON body to the server by default. You can use [filename]`-f FILENAME` to read a premade document from a file. When you can use [command]`-f -` option, the message body is read from standard input. You can also specify individual attributes and their values as seen in the previous [command]`create users` example. They are composed into a JSON body and sent to the server.

There are several ways to update a resource using the [command]`update` command. You can first determine the current state of a resource and save it to a file, and then edit that file and send it to the server for updating.

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 all the attributes in the sent JSON document.

Another option is to perform an on-the-fly update using the [command]`-s, --set` options to set new values.

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

That method only updates the [command]`enabled` attribute to `false`.

By default, the [commamd]`update` command first performs a [command]`get` and then merges the new attribute values with existing values. This is the preferred behavior. In some cases, the endpoint may support the [command]`PUT` command but not the [command]`GET` command. You can use the [command]`-n` option to perform a "no-merge" update, which performs a [command]`PUT` command without first running a [command]`GET` command.


=== Realm operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a new realm

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

A realm is not enabled by default. By enabling it, you can use a realm immediately for authentication.

A description for a new object can also be in a 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 piped to a standard input.

For example, on:

* 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

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

[NOTE]
====
A list of realms is additionally filtered on the server to return only realms a user can see.
====

Returning the entire realm description often provides too much information. Most users are interested only in a subset of attributes, such as realm name and whether the realm is enabled. You can specify which attributes to return by using the [command]`--fields` option.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get realms --fields realm,enabled
----

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

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific realm

You 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 [command]`-s` option to set new values for the attributes when you want to change only some 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 with new values, run a [command]`get` command, edit the current values in the JSON file, and 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 controlling 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 [command]`get` operation on the [filename]`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 [command]`kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm`.
+
For example, on:
+
* 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 should now become the active key as revealed by [command]`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 already prepared as a JKS file on the server.
+
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.alias=["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.alias=[\"localhost\"]"
----
. Make sure to 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 [filename]`components/PROVIDER_ID`.
. Perform an [command]`update`.
+
For example, on:

* 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

. Make sure the key you are deleting has been passive and disabled to prevent any existing tokens held by applications and users from abruptly failing to work.
. Identify the key you want to make passive.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get keys -r demorealm
----
. Use the `providerId` of that key to perform a delete.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh delete components/PROVIDER_ID -r demorealm
----

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

Use the [command]`update` command on the [filename]`events/config` endpoint.

The `eventsListeners` attribute contains a list of EventListenerProviderFactory IDs that specify all event listeners receiving events. Separately, there are attributes that control a built-in event storage, which allows querying past events via the Admin REST API. There is separate control over logging of service calls (`eventsEnabled`) and auditing events triggered during Admin Console or Admin REST API (`adminEventsEnabled`). You may want to set up expiry of old events so that your database does not fill up; `eventsExpiration` is set to time-to-live expressed in seconds.

Here is an example of setting up a built-in event listener that receives all the events and logs them through jboss-logging. (Using a logger called `org.keycloak.events`, error events are logged as `WARN`, and others are logged as `DEBUG`.)

For example, on:

* 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\"]"
----

Here is an example of turning on storage of all available ERROR events&#8212;not including auditing events&#8212;for 2 days so they can be retrieved via Admin REST.

For example, on:

* 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","VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR","REMOVE_TOTP_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\",\"VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR\",\"REMOVE_TOTP_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
----

Here is an example of how to reset stored event types to *all available event types*; setting to empty list is the same as enumerating all.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s enabledEventTypes=[]
----

Here is an example of how to enable storage of auditing events.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update events/config -r demorealm -s adminEventsEnabled=true -s adminEventsDetailsEnabled=true
----

Here is an example of how to get the last 100 events; they are ordered from newest to oldest.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get events --offset 0 --limit 100
----

Here is an example of how to delete all saved events.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm delete events
----

[discrete]
==== Flushing the caches

. Use the [command]`create` command and one of the following endpoints: [filename]`clear-realm-cache`, [filename]`clear-user-cache`, or [filename]`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 [command]`create` command on the [filename]`partialImport` endpoint.
. Set `ifResourceExists` to one of `FAIL`, `SKIP`, `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 realm does not yet exist, you first have to create it.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create realms -s realm=demorealm2 -s enabled=true
----


=== Role operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a realm role

Use the [filename]`roles` endpoint to create a realm role.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create roles -r demorealm -s name=user -s 'description=Regular user with limited set of permissions'
----

[discrete]
==== Creating a client role

. Identify the client first and then use the [command]`get` command to list available clients when creating a client role.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients -r demorealm --fields id,clientId
----
. Create a new role by using the [command]`clientId` attribute to construct an endpoint URI, such as [filename]`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 [command]`get` command on the [filename]`roles` endpoint to list existing realm roles.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get roles -r demorealm
----
You can also use the [command]`get-roles` command.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Listing client roles

There is a dedicated [command]`get-roles` command to simplify listing realm and client roles. It is an extension of the [command]`get` command and behaves the same with additional semantics for listing roles.

Use the [command]`get-roles` command, passing it either the clientId attribute (via the [command]`--cclientid` option) or [command]`id` (via the [command]`--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 [command]`get` command and the role [filename]`name` to construct an endpoint URI for a specific realm role: [filename]`roles/ROLE_NAME`, where [filename]`user` is the name of the existing role.

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

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

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

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

Use a dedicated [command]`get-roles` command, passing it either the clientId attribute (via the [command]`--cclientid` option) or ID (via the [command]`--cid` option) to identify the client, and passing it either the role name (via the [command]`--rolename` option) or ID (via the [command]`--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 [command]`update` command with the same endpoint URI that 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 [command]`update` command with the same 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 [command]`delete` command with the same 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 [command]`delete` command with the same 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 a dedicated [command]`get-roles` command to list assigned, available, and effective realm roles for a composite role.

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

==== Listing assigned, available, and effective client roles for a composite role

Use a dedicated [command]`get-roles` command to list assigned, available, and effective client roles for a composite role.

. To list *assigned* client roles for the composite role, you can specify the target composite role by either name (via the [command]`--rname` option) or ID (via the [command]`--rid` option) and client by either the clientId attribute (via the [command]`--cclientid` option) or ID (via the [command]`--cid` option).
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --rname testrole --cclientid realm-management
----
. Use the additional [command]`--effective` option to list *effective* realm roles.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --rname testrole --cclientid realm-management --effective
----
. Use the [command]`--available` option to list realm roles that can still be added to the target composite role.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --rname testrole --cclientid realm-management --available
----

[discrete]
==== Adding realm roles to a composite role

The following example adds the [command]`user` role to the composite role [command]`testrole`.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh add-roles --rname testrole --rolename user -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Removing realm roles from a composite role

There is a dedicated [command]`remove-roles` command that can be used to remove realm roles and client roles.

The following example removes the [command]`user` role from the target composite role [command]`testrole`.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh remove-roles --rname testrole --rolename user -r demorealm
----

[discrete]
==== Adding client roles to a realm role

Use a dedicated [command]`add-roles` command that can be used for adding realm roles and client roles.

The following example adds the roles defined on the client [command]`realm-management` - `create-client` role and the [command]`view-users` role to the [command]`testrole` composite role.
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh add-roles -r demorealm --rname testrole --cclientid realm-management --rolename create-client --rolename view-users
----

[discrete]
==== Adding client roles to a client role

. Determine the ID of the composite client role by using the [command]`get-roles` command.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --cclientid test-client --rolename operations
----
. Assume that there is a client with a clientId attribute of [filename]`test-client`, a client role called [filename]`support`, and another client role called [filename]`operations`, which becomes a composite role, that has an ID of "fc400897-ef6a-4e8c-872b-1581b7fa8a71".
. Use the following example to add another role to the composite role.
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh add-roles -r demorealm --cclientid test-client --rid fc400897-ef6a-4e8c-872b-1581b7fa8a71 --rolename support
----
. List the roles of a composite role by using the [command]`get-roles --all` command.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----

+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create clients -r demorealm -s clientId=myapp -s enabled=true
----
. Specify a secret if you want to set a secret for adapters to authenticate.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh create clients -r demorealm -s clientId=myapp -s enabled=true -s clientAuthenticatorType=client-secret -s secret=d0b8122f-8dfb-46b7-b68a-f5cc4e25d000
----

[discrete]
==== Listing clients

Use the [command]`get` command on the [filename]`clients` endpoint to list clients.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get clients -r demorealm --fields id,clientId
----
This example filters the output to list only the [filename]`id` and [filename]`clientId` attributes.

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific client

Use a client's ID to construct an endpoint URI that targets a specific client, such as [filename]`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 a client's ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as [filename]`clients/ID/client-secret`.

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

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

Use a client's ID to construct an endpoint URI that targets a specific client, such as [filename]`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]
==== Getting a Docker-v2 example configuration for a specific client

Use a client's ID to construct an endpoint URI that targets a specific client, such as [filename]`clients/ID/installation/providers/docker-v2-compose-yaml`.

Note that response will be in `.zip` format.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/realms/demorealm/clients/8f271c35-44e3-446f-8953-b0893810ebe7/installation/providers/docker-v2-compose-yaml -r demorealm > keycloak-docker-compose-yaml.zip
----

[discrete]
==== Updating a client

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

For example, on:

* Linux:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh update clients/c7b8547f-e748-4333-95d0-410b76b3f4a3 -r demorealm -s enabled=false -s publicClient=true -s 'redirectUris=["http://localhost:8080/myapp/*"]' -s baseUrl=http://localhost:8080/myapp -s adminUrl=http://localhost:8080/myapp
----
* Windows:

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

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

Service account for the client is just a special kind of user account with username [filename]`service-account-CLIENT_ID`.
You can perform user operations on this account as if it was a regular user.


=== User operations

[discrete]
==== Creating a user

Run the [command]`create` command on the [filename]`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 [filename]`users` endpoint to list users. The target user will have to change the 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 [filename]`username`, [filename]`firstName`, [filename]`lastName`, or [filename]`email`.

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get users -r demorealm -q email=google.com
$ kcadm.sh get users -r demorealm -q username=testuser
----
[NOTE]
====
Filtering does not use exact matching. For example, the above example would match the value of the [filename]`username` attribute against the [filename]`\*testuser*` pattern.
====
You can also filter across multiple attributes by specifying multiple [command]`-q` options, which return only users that match the condition for all the attributes.

[discrete]
==== Getting a specific user

Use a user's ID to compose an endpoint URI, such as [filename]`users/USER_ID`.

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

[discrete]
==== Updating a user

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

For example, on:

* 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 [command]`delete` command with the same endpoint URI that you used 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 [command]`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
----
That command sets a temporary password for the user. The target user will have to change the password the next time they log in.

You can use [command]`--userid` if you want to specify the user by using the [filename]`id` attribute.

You can achieve the same result using the [command]`update` command on an endpoint constructed from the one you used to get a specific user, such as [filename]`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 last parameter ([command]`-n`) ensures that only the [command]`PUT` command is performed without a prior [command]`GET` command. It is necessary in this instance because the [command]`reset-password` endpoint does not support [command]`GET`.

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

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

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

+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --uusername testuser --cclientid realm-management
----
. Use the additional [command]`--effective` option to list *effective* realm roles.
+
For example:
+
[options="nowrap"]
----
$ kcadm.sh get-roles -r demorealm --uusername testuser --cclientid realm-management --effective
----
. Use the [command]`--available` option to list realm roles that can still be added to the user.

----

[discrete]
==== Listing a user's sessions

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

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

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

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

You need a user's ID to construct an endpoint URI, such as [filename]`users/ID/logout`.

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

For example:
[options="nowrap"]
