There are several very useful keycloak modules in the community.general collection, like `keycloak_realm` and `keycloak_user`. There is no `Discussions` tab in their dedicated [github site](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/issues), hence this post here.

It seems difficult or impossible to modify or add the attributes of all user profiles in a specific realm using a keycloak module. `keycloak_realm` would seem more appropriate and the only parameter which could be useful as described by the [official documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/keycloak_realm_module.html#attributes) is `attributes` but it is evasive.

When using the keycloak embedded script `kcadm.sh`, I get:

```auto
# bin/kcadm.sh get realms/realm_name/users/profile
{
  "attributes" : [ {
    "name" : "username",
    "displayName" : "${username}",
    "validations" : {
      "length" : {
        "min" : 3,
        "max" : 255
      },
      "username-prohibited-characters" : { },
      "up-username-not-idn-homograph" : { }
    },
    "permissions" : {
      "view" : ["admin", "user"],
      "edit" : ["admin", "user"]
    },
    "multivalued" : false
  }, {
    "name" : "email",
    "displayName" : "${email}",
    "validations" : {
      "email" : { },
      "length" : {
        "max" : 255
      }
    },
    "required" : {
      "roles" : ["user"]
    },
    "permissions" : {
      "view" : ["admin", "user"],
      "edit" : ["admin", "user"]
    },
    "multivalued" : false
  }, {
    "name" : "firstName",
    "displayName" : "${firstName}",
    "validations" : {
      "length" : {
        "max" : 255
      },
      "person-name-prohibited-characters" : { }
    },
    "required" : {
      "roles" : ["user"]
    },
    "permissions" : {
      "view" : ["admin", "user"],
      "edit" : ["admin", "user"]
    },
    "multivalued" : false
  }, {
    "name" : "lastName",
    "displayName" : "${lastName}",
    "validations" : {
      "length" : {
        "max" : 255
      },
      "person-name-prohibited-characters" : { }
    },
    "required" : {
      "roles" : ["user"]
    },
    "permissions" : {
      "view" : ["admin", "user"],
      "edit" : ["admin", "user"]
    },
    "multivalued" : false
  } ],
  "groups" : [ {
    "name" : "user-metadata",
    "displayHeader" : "User metadata",
    "displayDescription" : "Attributes, which refer to user metadata"
  } ]
}

```

The goal is to add another attribute to all users in that realm, for instance:

```auto
  {
    "name" : "new_attribute",
    "displayName" : "${new_attribute}",
    "validations" : {
      "options" : {
        "options" : ["option1", "option12"]
      }
    },
    "annotations" : {
      "inputType" : "select"
    },
    "required" : {
      "roles" : ["admin", "user"]
    },
    "permissions" : {
      "view" : ["admin"],
      "edit" : ["admin"]
    },
    "multivalued" : false
  }

```

Any suggestion?
