The EWC IAM system is part of the European Weather Cloud (EWC), providing centralized identity and access management based on Keycloak. This system ensures that users can securely access various EWC services with a single set of credentials.
To help you understand how the system works, this section covers the fundamental concepts and components involved.
Tenants Realms
A Realm in Keycloak is like a space where user identities, roles, and permissions are managed. Each tenant in the EWC has its own unique Realm created during the on-boarding process.
Clients
Clients in Keycloak represent applications and services that users interact with. Each client has its own settings and permissions to ensure secure access to EWC services.
