Users and groups management when using Camunda as embedded engine in springboot

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

I am creating a springboot application, and using camunda as embedded engine.
My application has its own user management data model (users and groups) in another database . How do I sync Camunda’s users and groups with my application users and groups to avoid duplicate administration?

Hello @Alaa_migdady ,

you will need to provide a custom identity provider to bridge from the process engine to your own setup.

There is an example here:

If you plan to use ldap, please look into our ldap identity provider plugin.

I hope this helps

hello @jonathan.lukas

Thank you for your reply.
But I want to ask:

  • if I use my custom identity provider, should I save the users into camunda database also??
  • will the authorizations be still performed by camunda system?
  • how I would register the custom identity provider to be used in Springboot application?

thank you @hassang

I implemented my own identity provider, but in the admin dashboard or even through rest apis I cant get a list of the users nor the groups even I can log in the web applications. are there other configurations should be done ?

and is there a way to manage user-group membership? is it doable through a ReadOnlyIdentityProvider ?

thanks in advance
