Does role get overwritten or added if we pass them via SSO (cookie based)

Hi,   In OOB cookie based implementation we are passing parameter  "roles.grant".  Does this parameter overwrite the existing roles or just add them.   Appreciate the help here.   Thanks, Sac...

sachin - They should get added, unless the role names are same. I can say that because a user can have multiple roles, so overriding doesn't seem to be an issue.

    @grazitti I am still not clear. What I meant was if we pass Roles A,B,C intially and later change that to Roles A,B, D will user still have role C. Meaning are roles getting added or overwritten.

     

    Thanks,
    Sachin

      Hi sachin , yes the user will retain the roles they currently have. To remove roles, you will have to use the "roles.remove" parameter
