Users

Users are exactly what you think they are: users of your organization's applications. Users are dependent on a realm, so creating a user in one realm won't create a matching user in another.

To see all the users in your current realm, select the User option on the sidebar, under the Manage section. On this page, you should be able to view / search all users within the realm.

Creating a User

From the User page, you should be able to find the Add User button. This will take you to a page that prompts you for the following information:

Field	Description
Username	Defines the username associated with the user. Used for internal referencing.
Email	Associates an email with the user.
First/Last Name	Identifying information about the user. Handy for Teachers to identify students.
Required user actions	A series of actions required by the user when they first login. Includes examples such as Update Password or Verify Email.
Email verified	A toggle that dictates if a user's email is automatically considered verified. Keycloak can be configured to restrict access to users with unverified emails.
Groups	Defines the groups the user is in.

Sessions

When a user successfully authenticates with Keycloak, a session is created to track their authenticated state. Sessions are particularly useful during development for verifying that authentication is working correctly.

Viewing User Sessions

Sessions can be accessed in two ways: navigate to the Users page, select a user, and click the Sessions tab to view that user's sessions, or access the Sessions option in the sidebar under Manage to see all active sessions across the realm.

In both areas, you can see session information including:

Field	Description
Started	When the session was created.
Last Access	The most recent time the user interacted with the application.
IP Address	The IP address from which the user authenticated.
Clients	Which client applications the user has accessed during this session.
