Using keycloak in managing user permissions in SAS Viya

[Mahis]

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to use Keycloak to manage roles and groups for SAS Visual Analytics on SAS Viya?

There's no mention of Keycloak in the SAS documentation. Also this post may answer your question:

https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Viya-on-Microsoft-Azure/SAS-Viya-on-Azure-and-Azure-AD/td-p/86112...

In short it doesn't appear to be supported.

Yes, Based on the documentation of SAS Viya on Azure (https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/viyaakscdc/v_001/viyaakstasks/p0wijo0q4r056bn11ny8vqv6s4j6.htm ), it appears that Keycloak can only be used to add new users or change passwords for existing users. it does not support managing user permissions.

@Mahis - Thanks for the correction. So it appears to be provided by SAS Viya on Azure.

EDIT: It's also mentioned in this post: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/SAS-Viya-2021-2-OIDC-with-Multi-Tenancy/ta-p/...
