Reserved: 02.08.2026 Published: 02.08.2026 Updated: 02.08.2026

A flaw was found in the user creation component of Keycloak when Fine-Grained Admin Permissions V2 (FGAP V2) is enabled. This issue allows a sub-administrator with permission to create users to add those users to any group, even groups the sub-administrator is not authorized to manage. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information or elevated privileges for the newly created users.
