I have installed Wso2 api manager and am trying to set up authentication and authorization via Api manager. I can't figure out how to configure certain users who will be able to login through the app. Currently, all users who are in user story are allowed to login. I need to restrict the ability to login to the app for a certain range of users. How can this be done?
You can achieve this by adding roles to the particular users. Refer to this doc https://apim.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/administer/managing-users-and-roles/managing-user-roles/#managing-user-roles
You need to configure the roles and permissions according to your use case:
Create a role (eg: testRole) and assign required permissions except for the login permission(Admin Permissions > Login) to that role [1].
Create a new user(eg: testUser) and assign the testRole to that user[2].
Now the testUser that you have created has no login permissions to the app.

Requirement
I am working on a client project where we need to setup our AWS managed OpenSearch dashboard (Kibana). As per the requirement, we should use keycloak for SAML configurations. Also need to use LDAP as user federation.
Current Setup
AWS OpenSearch setup is completed and able to login with the master user credentials.
Integration of Keycloak with OpenSearch dashboard is done. I am able to login to the OpenSearch dashboard using keycloak local user by adding it in the all_access group in Dashboard (kibana).
LDAP integration with Keycloak is also completed. I can sync all LDAP users within Keycloak and able to login with individual LDAP users when adding them in the all_access group in Dashboard (Kibana).
Issue/Open tasks
How can I add the entire keycloak group to the OpenSearch Dashboard so I do not have to add individual users. I tried adding the group name in the dashboard under backend role section but it does not work. Also tried a few mappings (not sure if they were correct) but got no luck. Every time it gives "missing role-contact your administrator"
Same issue with LDAP groups as well, I can sync all LDAP groups within my Keycloak but not sure how to map them with OpenSearch Dashboard to login.
Ultimate Goal
Create two groups, one as admin and other as limitedaccess so that users who are part of admin group can login with the assigned permissions and users in limitedaccess group can login with their permissions.
I do not want to add individual users in the Dashboard rather they should be able to login directly based on role/group mapping.
The issue is resolved.
Following are the things I did, which may be useful for others looking for similar setup.
Created two groups in my Keycloak. "admin" and "limited".
Created two roles "admin_role" and "limited_role".
Made the limited group as default group and the limited_role as default role so the new users will directly get the limited permissions.
Next, which i was missing all the time (and thanks to other stack overflow answers) was to enable the Single Role mapping. For this, Go to Client scope role_list --> mappers --> role list --> enable "Single Role attribute"
Added the "Role" keyword in OpenSearch in the role key section (under additional settings in AWS OpenSearch SAML configs.). Also mentioned a generic user in the SAML master user section (generic user which I created in Keycloak) so that I can gain admin privileges to add backend roles in OpenSearch Dashboard.
Finally, logged in to my OpenSearch with this generic user. Go to the security --> Roles --> Manage mapping --> backend roles --> added my admin_role to the all_access and limited_role to the read roles.
Now I am able to login with all the users who are part of the respective groups in Keycloak.
Is there a way to grant admin access to a third party in AWS without manually creating IAM role etc, purely via OAuth flow or similar?
Context: making an app that simplifies AWS account management, and want to make the UX to "connect to my account" as simple as possible. Failed to find anything like that in AWS docs. Want the app to be able to provision and manage resources, run terraform etc.
Check this out: Identity Providers and Federation. You will still have to create pre-defined IAM roles to define what permission users will assume
Yes it's doable. You do need to create IAM roles, if you want to give your users access to everything just create an admin role with permissions of ':' on all resources.
Then you should set up some type of SAML server, active directory federation services comes with everything out of the box. You can look for some open source SAML servers.
Then you have to setup SAML federation between your user account and your SAML backend.
I understand that user and roles in wso2is are use for management the carbon console, how can i use roles and permissions for use in my web app, for example, defined roles and permission and apply policies using xacml ?
You can follow this documentation to set up role-based authorization for your application.
For the permission-based authorization, you can assign those permissions to the role and achieve it.
Our organization has set up WSO2 API Manager 2.1, with a secondary user store binding to our organization's LDAP. We need all users from our organization to have a subscriber role by default.
We would prefer for there to be no need for users to use "Self Sign Up"-- and additionally, "Self Sign Up" appears to create new accounts, however all of our accounts are already in the secondary user store.
How can we configure the system to grant the subscriber role by default?
Is there any common ldap user group for the users? For example users who need to log in to the store belongs to X group. If so, you could assign subscriber related permissions for that group from API manager instead of assigning permissions to the 'everyone' role. (If you have configured the groups related ldap queries correctly you should be able to view them in the API manager carbon console. refer https://docs.wso2.com/display/IS550/Configuring+a+Read-write+LDAP+User+Store)
I installed WSO2 Identity server and logged in using admin/admin, but under home pane, I am not able to see SAML SSO, OAuth entries under Manage category. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Did you try to login as "admin", to create a new role and validate the list of permission settings visible under this role (see icon permissions). A tree with checkboxes should be visible defining the permission level for each role, by this defining the permissions inherited to the account. Once the role is defined, create and add a user account to this role. Logout and login with the new administrator userid and hopefully you will see all options on the menu.
