## Key Features
Single Sign-On (SSO): Enable users to access multiple applications and services with a single set of credentials, reducing login fatigue and improving the user experience.
User Federation: Integrate your existing user stores—such as LDAP, Active Directory, or custom databases—without re-engineering your authentication layer.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assign fine-grained roles and permissions to users or groups, making it easier to manage security policies at scale.
Social Login & Identity Brokering: Offer seamless authentication through providers like Google, Facebook, or GitHub, saving time by not building these integrations yourself.
Extensible & Customizable: Adjust Keycloak’s behavior using custom providers, themes, or authentication flows that match your project’s unique requirements.

## How Keycloak is integrated in the edpbuilder
A dedicated realm is used in Keycloak for the edpbuilder's stack. Currently Backstage and argo-workflows is configured to use Keycloak. Grafana and Forgejo are integrated next. Keycloak will be able, in a later step, to connect to the identity provider of an organisation (Azure AD DS for example).
