Feedback on Keycloak's onboarding and user creation complexity #50322

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sincerely sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered during your initial setup. Spending over four hours to configure a standard user creation flow via the REST API is certainly not the seamless experience we aim for. Your points regarding the fragmented documentation and the complexity of configuring permissions, roles, and Service Accounts are entirely valid. 📄 Contribution Guide (CONTRIBUTING.md) Thanks |
Uh oh!

I recently set up Keycloak for my project, and honestly, the initial configuration and user management setup feel overwhelmingly complex. It took me over 4 hours just to get a simple user creation flow working via the REST API, and I honestly couldn't have figured it out without the help of an AI assistant. The documentation is scattered, and the permission/role mapping (like Service Accounts) isn't intuitive for newcomers. I really hope the team can simplify the developer onboarding experience in future releases.
