[keycloak-user] Users losing realm roles without a valid reason

Not sure what could be wrong, but posting the whole realm config every X
minutes is pretty crazy. Why are you doing that?!

A few questions:

* Is the realm role still there? If the ID of the role changes then the
user role mappings will be lost. User role mappings are for a role by id,
not by name. So if you delete a role and re-create it role mappings are lost
* What database are you using?
* Do you have multiple nodes in a cluster?
* Does it happen to all users or just some?
