To add a new company role, a couple of steps need to get followed.
Different to Portal/App/Technical User Roles, it is not needed to do any update inside the IdP.

DB Table Changes:
#### 1. DB Table Changes

- add new company role inside the table company_roles
- if the new company role should be selectable for company registrations, set the role inside table company_role_registration_data to "true"; otherwise "false"
- add description of the new company role inside table company_role_descriptions
- create a new user role collection inside user_role_collections to define selectable user roles for the company role
- add description of the new collection inside table user_role_collection_descriptions
- map user roles to the new created collection via table user_role_assigned_collections
- connect the new company role with the new role collection via "company_role_assigned_role_collections"
- new or existing agreements to be linked to the new company role via table "agreement_assigned_company_roles"
- add new company role inside the table `company_roles`
- if the new company role should be selectable for company registrations, set the role inside table `company_role_registration_data` to `true`; otherwise `false`
- add description of the new company role inside table `company_role_descriptions`
- create a new user role collection inside `user_role_collections` to define selectable user roles for the company role
- add description of the new collection inside table `user_role_collection_descriptions`
- map user roles to the new created collection via table `user_role_assigned_collections`
- connect the new company role with the new role collection via `company_role_assigned_role_collections`
- new or existing agreements to be linked to the new company role via table `agreement_assigned_company_roles`

Might be better to remove the way via sql entirely as that makes it seem as we somehow suggest that but from a good practice point of view, we should only propagate the way via updating the portal seeding data, which here is called delta migration job as that the only sustainable way, via sql might be useful for a short test but nothing else


For the scenario of sql, the relevant sql can get found below:

For the scenario of sql, the relevant sql can get found below:
1st to get the role id move into your browser open the user role configuration and copy the second UUID from the url.

1st create the role

INSERT INTO portal.user_roles
(id, user_role, offer_id, last_editor_id)
VALUES ('{uuid}', '{user role name}', '{offer.id of portal or registration}', '{operator user uuid}');
![ClientRoles](/docs/static/new_user_get_uuid.png)

2nd add role description in german and english
2nd create the role

INSERT INTO portal.user_role_descriptions
(user_role_id, language_short_name, description)
VALUES
('(user_roles.id)', '{de}', '{description}'),

```sql
INSERT INTO portal.user_roles(
id, user_role, offer_id, last_editor_id)
VALUES ('copied uuid from url', 'Name of your Keycloak Role', 'offerID of portal or registration', null);
```

3rd connect role with company role collection

4th connect role with company role collection.

get the id for the user role collection from the following sql.

```sql
SELECT CR.label, CRARC.user_role_collection_id
FROM portal.company_role_assigned_role_collections as CRARC
JOIN portal.company_roles as CR on id = company_role_id;
```

copy the necessary id and execute the INSERT statement with it.

```sql
INSERT INTO portal.user_role_assigned_collections(
user_role_id, user_role_collection_id)
VALUES ('copied uuid from url', 'copied user_role_collection_id from query');
```

#### 3. Update keycloak base image

The [CX-Central realm file](../../import/realm-config/generic/catenax-central/CX-Central-realm.json) needs to be updated with role changes (export from Keycloak) to provide the configuration in the init container for the realm import and seeding.

### App Role(s)

App roles are managed by app provider by the portal user interface. It should be strictly forbidden to add / change any app roles in any other way. Reason: app roles are (beside that they are in the ownership of the app provider) impacting not only a Keycloak client and portal db; additionally apps have app clients registered in Keycloak and each client need to get enhanced with the new roles where human errors are very likely possible.
