      How to add a permanent admin?

      Creating a user via the UI doesn't have the option to assigning them the role of 'admin'.

      And as per https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/discussions/33803#discussioncomment-10921141, the new user should be added to the admin role via the CLI, but, when i try that, i get this error:

      Failed to create config file: /root/.keycloak/kcadm.config

        @shrey you have to create a new User in the master realm with 'admin' role (Roles -> Add -> Search for admin role). Also, set a password for this admin user. Then, relogin as this new admin user and delete the tempadmin

            Hi @joseph, this is pretty much the reason for my post; there's no option available to select the 'admin' role.

            I've tried to add every role available, but the 'admin' role option is nowhere to be found in my instance.

            Even though, the role does exist:

              @shrey it's in the 3rd screenshot I posted. iirc, user -> roles -> you have to change the select box drop down . and then there is admin there.

                @joseph yeah, my 2nd image corresponds to your 3rd one. There's no dropdown option available in my case because I've already added all the available roles, although, the 'admin' role is not one of them.

                  I was experiencing the same problem. The solution is to select filter by realm roles. It seems to default to filter by realm clients.

                      that's also part of the reported error, as well as shown in the shared screenshots.

                        @shrey not sure if we talk of the same thing 🤔

                        But here, I made a video to show you on a fresh installation:

                          I'm aware those are the prescribed steps, but the issue exists despite them, hence this post (as also stated before).

                            btw, i ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the Keycloak app and this the process went about as depicted in your video.
