Feature:

With Keycloak 26, a new feature called unmanaged attributes has been introduced. By default, unmanaged attributes will be disabled for new realms, meaning the "Attributes" tab will not be visible in the user configuration. Backward compatibility is maintained, as the setting is mapped to the User Profile Enabled option described in the issue.

Problem:

One of the challenges with this feature is that there is no build-time or run-time configuration option available to enable the unmanaged attribute policy. This seems intentional since it's a realm property that, as of now, can only be modified either through the UI or a REST API call.

Question:

Given the current limitations, I have the following inquiries:

• Is there any consideration for deprecating this unmanaged attribute property in future Keycloak releases?

• Is there currently any way to enable unmanaged attributes during realm creation? As far as I know, there is no direct way to enable this feature at creation time — please correct me if I'm wrong or if there are any alternatives.

Looking forward to insights or guidance on how this could be handled more efficiently.
