[keycloak-user] assign client roles to a user using keycloak rest API

Ηello,

thank you for the reply.

In [2], in the call

POST /{realm}/groups/{id}/role-mappings/clients/{client}
there is no reference to the username, so The API cannot understand which user we are referring to.

I want to assign a client role to a specific user, but it seems that this call you sent me refers to adding roles per client application.

Please, can you help?
Regards,
Dimitris
