Description

This module allows you to add, remove or modify Keycloak groups via 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 U(https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/20.0.2/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, where possible provide the group ID to the module. This removes a lookup to the API to translate the name into the group ID.

Inputs

    
id:
    description:
    - The unique identifier for this group.
    - This parameter is not required for updating or deleting a group but providing it
      will reduce the number of API calls required.
    type: str

name:
    description:
    - Name of the group.
    - This parameter is required only when creating or updating the group.
    type: str

realm:
    default: master
    description:
    - They Keycloak realm under which this group resides.
    type: str

state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    default: present
    description:
    - State of the group.
    - On V(present), the group will be created if it does not yet exist, or updated with
      the parameters you provide.
    - On V(absent), the group will be removed if it exists. Be aware that absenting a
      group with subgroups will automatically delete all its subgroups too.
    type: str

token:
    description:
    - Authentication token for Keycloak API.
    type: str
    version_added: 3.0.0
    version_added_collection: community.general

parents:
    description:
    - List of parent groups for the group to handle sorted top to bottom.
    - Set this to create a group as a subgroup of another group or groups (parents) or
      when accessing an existing subgroup by name.
    - Not necessary to set when accessing an existing subgroup by its C(ID) because in
      that case the group can be directly queried without necessarily knowing its parent(s).
    elements: dict
    suboptions:
      id:
        description:
        - Identify parent by ID.
        - Needs less API calls than using O(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.
        type: str
      name:
        description:
        - Identify parent by name.
        - Needs more internal API calls than using O(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.
