Signals Image Artist: Auto-assigning a default group membership to new user accounts

When user accounts are first created within SImA, by default they will not be assigned to any group. It is however possible to configure a Default group (or groups), to which all newly created user accounts will be automatically assigned. Default groups are configured via the Keycloak admin console - see Accessing the Keycloak admin console.

Once logged into the Keycloak Admin console, follow the relevant section below.

SImA v1.2 or lower:

Select Groups from the left-hand menu, then click on the Default Groups tab. 

Choose which groups should be auto-assigned by adding them to the list of "Default Groups".  Thereafter, each time a new user account is created (either local account or via LDAP) they will be assigned to the Default Group(s).

SImA v1.3 or above:

In the top left corner, ensure that the "SImA" realm is selected. Now select Realm Settings > User Registration > Default groups > Add groups.

Choose which groups should be auto-assigned by selecting those groups from the list of available groups, then click Add. Thereafter, each time a new user account is created (either local account or via LDAP) they will be assigned to the Default Group(s).
