community.general.keycloak_realm_rolemapping module – Allows administration of Keycloak realm role mappings into groups with the Keycloak API

Note

This module is part of the community.general collection (version 8.6.8).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.keycloak_realm_rolemapping.

New in community.general 8.2.0

Synopsis

• This module allows you to add, remove or modify Keycloak realm role mappings into groups with the Keycloak REST API. It requires access to the REST API via OpenID Connect; the user connecting and the client being used must have the requisite access rights. In a default Keycloak installation, admin-cli and an admin user would work, as would a separate client definition with the scope tailored to your needs and a user having the expected roles.

• The names of module options are snake_cased versions of the camelCase ones found in the Keycloak API and its documentation at https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/18.0/rest-api/index.html.

• Attributes are multi-valued in the Keycloak API. All attributes are lists of individual values and will be returned that way by this module. You may pass single values for attributes when calling the module, and this will be translated into a list suitable for the API.

• When updating a group_rolemapping, where possible provide the role ID to the module. This removes a lookup to the API to translate the name into the role ID.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
auth_client_id string	OpenID Connect client_id to authenticate to the API with. Default: "admin-cli"
auth_client_secret string	Client Secret to use in conjunction with auth_client_id (if required).
auth_keycloak_url aliases: url string / required	URL to the Keycloak instance.
auth_password aliases: password string	Password to authenticate for API access with.
auth_realm string	Keycloak realm name to authenticate to for API access.
auth_username aliases: username string	Username to authenticate for API access with.
connection_timeout integer added in community.general 4.5.0	Controls the HTTP connections timeout period (in seconds) to Keycloak API. Default: 10
gid string	ID of the group to be mapped. This parameter is not required for updating or deleting the rolemapping but providing it will reduce the number of API calls required.
group_name string	Name of the group to be mapped. This parameter is required (can be replaced by gid for less API call).
http_agent string added in community.general 5.4.0	Configures the HTTP User-Agent header. Default: "Ansible"
parents list / elements=dictionary	List of parent groups for the group to handle sorted top to bottom. Set this if your group is a subgroup and you do not provide the GID in gid.
id string	Identify parent by ID. Needs less API calls than using parents[].name. A deep parent chain can be started at any point when first given parent is given as ID. Note that in principle both ID and name can be specified at the same time but current implementation only always use just one of them, with ID being preferred.
name string	Identify parent by name. Needs more internal API calls than using parents[].id to map names to ID’s under the hood. When giving a parent chain with only names it must be complete up to the top. Note that in principle both ID and name can be specified at the same time but current implementation only always use just one of them, with ID being preferred.
realm string	They Keycloak realm under which this role_representation resides. Default: "master"
roles list / elements=dictionary	Roles to be mapped to the group.
id string	The unique identifier for this role_representation. This parameter is not required for updating or deleting a role_representation but providing it will reduce the number of API calls required.
name string	Name of the role_representation. This parameter is required only when creating or updating the role_representation.
state string	State of the realm_rolemapping. On present, the realm_rolemapping will be created if it does not yet exist, or updated with the parameters you provide. On absent, the realm_rolemapping will be removed if it exists. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
token string added in community.general 3.0.0	Authentication token for Keycloak API.
validate_certs boolean	Verify TLS certificates (do not disable this in production). Choices: false true ← (default)

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full	Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: full	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.
