OIDC Auth - Stop updating roles?

Hi, I've configured integration with Authentik. I want any users that login though Authentik to be created as 'normal' users, and all seems to be set up fine. However, I also want my personal account to be an administrator, while still using Authentik to log in (I have an 'admin' account as the owner). I log in once, then switch to the admin account to promote my account to administrator, then disable credential login. But whenever I log in through my personal account, I see this message in the logs, highlighting that my user is demoted back to a normal account on each login. updating roles of user <username> Is there a way to disable updating the roles of a user when logging in through OIDC? Thanks

Solution:

if one of my OIDC logged in users is part of the homarr-admin role, they'll automatically be setup as an admin in homarr, similar for Owner

there are env vars you can set normally to configure the roles mapped to Owner & Admin looking in my own config (just need to login xD) AUTH_OIDC_ADMIN_GROUP=homarr-admin AUTH_OIDC_OWNER_GROUP=homarr-owner

I personally setup a seperate admin account as owner and made my personal account admin

zodacOP•7mo ago

But if I set those environment values, what happens when another user (who I would like to allow log in) tries to connect? Won't they also be made admins? Or do I need to assign them to another group in Authentik? Oh, I think see. If there's no match the logged in user is normal. If there is a match on either of those environment variables it will become admin and/or user? And the values for those cars match the group the user belongs to in Authentik? I'll give that a try tomorrow, seems like it should work as you set. 🙂

the values are groups I setup in my own LDAP ( I got LDAP + Authelia setup) but indeed, all users can login and are assigned users by default if the Admin role is present -> Admin gets assigned if the Owner role is present -> Owner gets assigned (not sure if there can be multiple owners, hence why I set it up on a seperate technical account)

Thanks so much @Laehar , that all worked perfectly. 🙂
