Can anyone help me? Thanks In advance

I have using the following code to create user

Keycloak kc = Keycloak.getInstance(
                     "http://{server name}:8080/auth",
                     "{realm name}", // the realm to log in to
                     "{useraname}", 
                     "{password}",  // the user
                     "{client id}",
                     "{client secret key}");

            CredentialRepresentation credential = new CredentialRepresentation();
            credential.setType(CredentialRepresentation.PASSWORD);
            credential.setValue("test123");
            UserRepresentation user = new UserRepresentation();
            user.setUsername("codeuser");
            user.setFirstName("sampleuser1");
            user.setLastName("password");

            user.setCredentials(Arrays.asList(credential));
            user.setEnabled(true);
            Response result = kc.realm("{realm name}").users().create(user);

response.status is coming as 403

Answer 1

I faced the same issue. This is how i fixed it.

1. Create a role that has at least a realm-management role of manage-users

UI update for server 9.0.2

2. Go to your client's Scope tab and add the role to your Realm Roles
