Add a RoleType that allows to select roles among the ones in the hierarchy #20728

The issue with your solution is that it's perfectly fine to have a configuration where not all roles are part of the role hierarchy. So you would end up with incomplete choices. |

I'm aware of this limitation, I thought users could add the missing roles to their configuration if they want to add them to the field (using an empty array as value). Do we have better choices to be more complete? |

Hey @Cydonia7 thank you for working on this. What @xabbuh pointed out is true, so this type is not that useful if one needs to define each roles in his configuration to get the full list of choices. This does not bring any real value, one just needs to use a ChoiceType and define the choices himself. Being aware of roles used in an application is not worth it so sadly to me it's 👎, and I propose to close the related issue as a "won't fix". |
This PR adds a
RoleTypeto the security bundle that extends the existingChoiceTypein order to select roles for a user.This can be used for instance in an admin backend to edit permissions.
