I have successfully developed Keycloak custom REST resource by extending **/admin** URL as below.

`http://{host}/admin/realms/{realmId}/ext/users/{userId}/custom-path`

Now I’m looking for solution to extend this API without using **/ext** path as below.

`http://{host}/admin/realms/{realmId}/users/{userId}/custom-path`

Is there any way to achieve this by extending UserResource or using any other Keycloak extension providers ?
