Thank you for materials and lots of hints !! :)

"Thing is that Bill is actually working on adding Groups support to
Keycloak and composite roles are going to be refactored or removed entirely
and replaced by groups"
Does it gonna be done with one commit, or maybe there are some ready to use
parts in the model?

"Is it ok for you to wait for 1.7 release?"
It will have to :)

Best Regards,
 Andrzej
