<p>What did we do before when a new realm was created?</p>
<p>Why not just use the admin interfaces to get the role/group
membership? A redirect can be slow depending on your internet
connection and look choppy to the user.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Currently the admin console reads user and
permission details from a special whoAmI endpoint. This means it
reads permissions/roles differently to the token code. When we
introduced groups this was not added to the whoAmI endpoint, so
roles from groups doesn't work for the admin console.

<div>The proper solution is to remove the whoAmI endpoint, which
will make sure the admin console uses tokens directly which
will eliminate any issues like this in the future.</div>

<div>That comes with one caveat, which is updating roles when a
new realm is created (or a realm is renamed). There's a simply
solution to that though, which is simply redirect to the login
screen to get a new token. In the future we're planning to
remove the master realm completely as well. It also applies to
using admin endpoints obviously. So anyone adding a new realm
would need to get a new token to access the new realm. That's
not a frequent operation though so shouldn't be a big
inconvenience.</div>

<div>I've got this all working and it didn't take long to
implement, but just wanted to give everyone a heads up before
I merge it.</div>
