Hey! I see that this is your first PR. That is great! Welcome! Symfony has a contribution guide which I suggest you to read. In short:
Review the GitHub status checks of your pull request and try to solve the reported issues. If some tests are failing, try to see if they are failing because of this change. When two Symfony core team members approve this change, it will be merged and you will become an official Symfony contributor! I am going to sit back now and wait for the reviews. Cheers! Carsonbot |

Should we limit the output here? I'm afraid we break the toolbar for apps with many roles. 🙈

was checking 😬 i have 200+ roles :}

yes. It's a symptom of permissions-as-roles. In that sense ive no idea what a reasonable no. of roles is, nor about an average role name length. I do agree the current toolbar has limited UI to display many data.

Yeah, good point - limiting would be a good idea. Do you have any preference about this. I would see the following options:
- showing the first m roles, and something like "and n more"
- having something like a modal that could be opened if there are more than m roles

this should not only contain the number of assigned roles
hence i suggested to use a title attribute and avoid this discussion :)

I like @ro0NL's suggestion of using the title attribute:
I think 1 role is a good threshold value 😄 . In this example screenshot, the user only has 4 roles and it already wouldn't fit the normal modal.
Also, I always recommend people to limit the number of roles a user has as close to 1 as possible. Maybe complex applications need 3+ roles, but generally you should be able to manage 1 or 2 roles if you split roles from permissions.

i agree the dashed underline is likely enough to trigger a user hover, and go from there.
i'd opt out from a random number to display roles for
we could spare out "Logged in as" in favor of the "user icon" as in the toolbar itself, if it's not redundant already :}
we could spare out "Authenticated: yes" in favor of the negative edge case (eg. "Not authenticated" as a single badge)
"Action" looks redundant :) could be some "logout icon" too
last but not least, IIUC the title attribute is limited to 512 chars. Perhaps we should invent some CSS only tooltip util.

Please keep this discussion focussed and discuss cleaning up other things in another issue/pr :)
I'm 100% in favor of keeping this as simple as possible. Let's not increase difficulty with CSS/js tooltips. The longest role I've seen is Symfony's own ROLE_PREVIOUS_ADMIN, which is 19 characters long (meaning a user can have 24 roles before the title attribute overflows).

I never implied "JS". We have a hard limit on title attributes.
edit: the 512 limit is IE only it seems. Max-width is default on title attributes ... let's do that 👍

So, I'm having a new shot after all that feedback - thank you guys for commenting!
