AW Users

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to create test users in Keycloak to validate your identity federation and community setup between Keycloak and PDC. We'll walk through adding Adventure Works employees across different organizational roles, setting up their credentials, and preparing them for group membership assignment that demonstrates the complete WHO + WHAT identity governance pipeline.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Create enterprise users in Keycloak with proper organizational context

• Configure user credentials and authentication settings for testing scenarios

• Understand the difference between test user creation and production directory synchronization

• Prepare users for group membership assignment and role inheritance testing

• Establish realistic test scenarios that mirror production organizational structures

• Validate identity federation workflows with representative user personas

• Create the foundation for testing data governance access controls

Workshop Test Users: You'll create five key Adventure Works employees representing different organizational functions:

• Sarah Johnson - Sales Analyst (sales data access testing)

• Michael Chen - HR Specialist (employee data governance testing)

• Elena Rodriguez - Data Steward (cross-domain governance testing)

• David Park - Compliance Officer (regulatory oversight testing)

• James Lock - System Administrator (full administrative access testing)

Production Note: In real enterprise environments, these users would automatically synchronize from your corporate directory (Active Directory/LDAP) rather than manual creation, but this workshop demonstrates the complete user lifecycle for testing and validation purposes.

This workshop establishes the user foundation needed to test your complete identity federation setup, ensuring that organizational roles properly translate into data access permissions through the Keycloak-to-PDC integration.
