@mffap Do you mean with actions to metadata? Would be great if you could write a user story according to this with some acceptance criterias. As a [type of user], I want [some goal] so that [some reason].

I think this might be relevant to Actions, yes or to extenal idp templates, maybe? You anyways need a way to map data from external providers to internal

You can see what I mean for example here:

• https://github.com/mschwartau/keycloak-custom-protocol-mapper-example/blob/master/README.md
• https://is.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/guides/dialects/add-claim-mapping/

But I haven't got the question again, so we can also close it if you want.

User Story is basically: As a Developer I want to understand what I need to configure/add as action, so that I can customize the claims within my token.
