Hello,
Is there a way to import client Scopes in a realm ?
Thanks for the help.
Can you provide more detail? The realm import functionality will import Client Scopes if they are present in the realm json file you are importing.
I have added scope the way it is mentioned in the image above. If I am doing it wrong, please let know.
Thank you for your reply.
That looks right. However, are you doing it manually? Why not just create a realm in the admin UI, create and map the Client Scopes, and then export the realm?

Actually I have to use import functionality because I have created different realms but client scopes in all of them are same. So instead of creating it every time I thought to import it.
However, can you elaborate on your point: Why not just create a realm in the admin UI, create and map the Client Scopes, and then export the realm?
There is a section of the Admin UI called “Export”, where you can export the realm. Check “Export clients” when you are exporting, so that it will include Clients and Client Scopes:
Once you have done that, you can use that file to import the realm elsewhere.

I totally got the export feature.
Now, for example:
I have 2 realms: one is “demo” and another is “demo1”. I created a scope “sample-scope” in demo realm using the section of the Admin UI called “Client Scopes”. And now I want the same client scope in realm “demo1”. So I exported realm json files of both the realms and then I copied the “sample-scope” curl data from “demo” realm json file and pasted in “demo1” realm json file. Now I imported the demo1 realm json file but the scope was not imported.
Is it the proper way ?
That should work. Do you see any errors in the Keycloak logs?
No, there are no errors. File gets imported successfully.
While importing I only get three options which are mentioned in the image attached below:

as divya mentioned above, I have same issue, that the configurations of client-scopes exported in json could not be imported in realm.

Is there any update on this? I have a fairly complex client scope that I’d like to import into each realm, but the import does not import it. No errors in my logs.
I have no issues exporting the client scope from my template realm.

I’m facing the same issue: I’m trying to import a few client scops from a valid exported JSON file.
I found a workaround for my situation.
In my case, on bootstrap, I’m reconfiguring keycloak from another server, that will later use it.
So after importing the successful part I’m using the management module (in node.js, in my case) and creating them manually, using the very same attributes from the JSON file - no modification is needed, only adding the realm name.
