Realm role is not assigned while creating user

Getting advice
#1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create user and assign credentials and one role to him using admin client. Currently user is created and credentials are assigned, but role is not assigned. I created this role manually using administrator console. Here is what my code looks like:

    Keycloak keycloak = Keycloak.getInstance(
            "http://localhost:8080/auth",
            "master",
            "admin",
            "password",
            "admin-cli"
    );

     UserRepresentation user = new UserRepresentation();
     user.setEmail("pokusaj4.spring@live.com");
     user.setFirstName("Pokusaj");
     user.setLastName("Spring");
     user.setUsername("pokusaj4.spring");
     user.setEnabled(true);

    user.setRealmRoles(Arrays.asList("profesor"));

    CredentialRepresentation cred = new CredentialRepresentation();
    cred.setType(CredentialRepresentation.PASSWORD);
    cred.setValue("password");
    cred.setTemporary(false);

    user.setCredentials(Arrays.asList(cred));

    Response response = keycloak.realm("realm-test").users().create(user);

And i am using keycloak 9.0.3

Thanks in advance!

I also tried to set roles this way but it didn’t work for me so I tried this workaround and it’s working perfectly, which consist of setting roles in a different request as shown in the code below

    private void assignRoles(String userId, List<String> roles) {
    List<RoleRepresentation> roleList = rolesToRealmRoleRepresentation(roles);
    keycloak.realm("my_realm")
        .users()
        .get(userId)
        .roles()
        .realmLevel()
        .add(roleList);

}

private List<RoleRepresentation> rolesToRealmRoleRepresentation(List<String> roles) {
    List<RoleRepresentation> existingRoles = keycloak.realm(REALM)
        .roles()
        .list();

    List<String> serverRoles = existingRoles
        .stream()
        .map(RoleRepresentation::getName)
        .collect(Collectors.toList());
    List<RoleRepresentation> resultRoles = new ArrayList<>();

    for (String role : roles) {
        int index = serverRoles.indexOf(role);
        if (index != -1) {
            resultRoles.add(existingRoles.get(index));
        } else {
            log.info("Role doesn't exist");
        }
    }
    return resultRoles;
}

Hi,
Can anyone please share the Rest API (JSON) request for role creation. I have been able to create user but not able to update the role.

Hi,
I send Rest API (JSON) through postman with realmRoles. I have been able to create user but not able to assign the realmRole.

I have the same situation. Have to create user then assign realmRole separately.
