How to create an superpower role that is able to add a restricted list of roles to users?

Hello,

I would like to create a role which allows to add roles to users on a limited perimeter. The goal is to delegate a part of the user/role mapping to superpowerusers according to their perimeter.

For example:
user1 can add as role only role1 (no any other role)

I have already tried with the following authorize.conf configurations

[role_superpoweruser]
edit_user = enabled
edit_roles_grantable=enabled
grantableRoles = role1;
=> allows to add ALL roles (including others than role1)

[role_superpoweruser]
edit_user = enabled
grantableRoles = role1;
=> the user can add role1 but it removes ALL other roles

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi @francoisternois,

for my knowledge it isn't possible because the grant to add role is on/off , you canod give the possibility to add only some roles.

ciao.
