Cryptomator Hub 2.0 - #171
Conversation
WalkthroughThe documentation adds Guides pages for administration, self-hosting, and user workflows. Existing pages now use updated sidebar ordering, links, feature labels, and Emergency Access anchors. Early Access notices were removed. Several screenshots now use higher-resolution dimensions. The homepage announcement links to Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The updated Hub 2.0 documentation adds new guides and revises administration workflows, but recovery, vault-creation permissions, and external identity-management availability can still be described inaccurately.

Document external identity-provider backups separately.
The pg_dumpall dump preserves Keycloak configuration and local user records, but it cannot restore LDAP/AD directory data or OIDC/SAML provider accounts and credentials. State that a complete self-hosted Hub restore also requires the configured external provider’s backup or export procedure.

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/cryptomator/hub create-vault admin role authorization
💡 Result:
In Cryptomator Hub, the ability to create vaults is controlled by the create-vaults role within Keycloak [1][2]. As of version 1.4.0, the default behavior restricts vault creation to users assigned the admin role [1]. To manage or authorize this permission, follow these steps in Keycloak: 1. Log in to the Keycloak admin console with admin privileges [1]. 2. Navigate to Realm Roles and select the appropriate role (e.g., admin or user) [1]. 3. Under the Assign Role section, select and apply the create-vaults role [1]. If you wish to restore the previous behavior where all users can create vaults, you can assign the create-vaults role to the user role instead [1]. Cryptomator Hub relies on these Keycloak-issued realm roles as claims in the access token, and authorization is enforced via these roles [3].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/cryptomator/hub/releases 2.0.0 create-vaults admin role
💡 Result:
In the context of Cryptomator Hub, the create-vaults role is a permission setting managed through Keycloak that controls which users are authorized to create new vaults [1]. Starting with version 1.4.0, the system introduced a change where only users assigned the admin role are permitted to create vaults by default [1]. To manage this permission, administrators must configure the role mapping within Keycloak: 1. Log in to Keycloak with admin privileges [1]. 2. Navigate to Realm Roles [1]. 3. Select the target role (e.g., admin or user) to which you wish to assign the create-vaults permission [1]. 4. Click Assign Role and select the create-vaults role to apply it [1]. If you wish to allow all users to create vaults (reverting to behavior present prior to version 1.4.0), you should assign the create-vaults role to the user role instead of the admin role [1]. While Cryptomator Hub 2.0.0 has been released [2][3], this configuration mechanism remains the standard approach for managing vault creation permissions within the application.

The default Hub role mapping grants the create-vaults permission to admin, but this table lists only create-vault. State the admin permission inheritance and use Hub’s canonical create-vaults role name consistently.
