Introduction
------------
Keycloak defines three important concepts to know about: **Realm**,
**Clients** and **Roles**.
* **realm**: It manages a set of users, credentials, roles, and groups. A user belongs
to and logs into a realm. Realms are isolated from one another and can only manage and
authenticate the users that they control.
* **Client**: Entities that can request Keycloak to authenticate a user. Most often,
clients are applications and services that want to use Keycloak to secure themselves and
provide a single sign-on solution. Clients can also be entities that just want to
request identity information or an access token so that they can securely invoke other
services on the network that are secured by Keycloak.
* **Role**: It identifies a type or category of users. Applications (e.g. webapp,
deposit) often assign access and permissions to specific roles rather than individual
users as dealing with users can be too fine grained and hard to manage. There is a
global namespace for roles and each client also has its own dedicated namespace where
roles can be defined.
