Description
It would be awesome if we could specify an alternative roles field. Some oauth2 providers do not allow roles to be set, but rather insist on name-spacing the roles field (looking at you Auth0). Perhaps in the UI, within the Adjustments section, similar to how you have an Alternative id key field, there could be an Alternative roles key field? Or even just a Roles namespace,
As a concrete example, the userinfo endpoint for our implementation returns a payload that contains the following:
{
...
email_verified: true,
'https://ourdomain.gg/roles': [ 'Group1 Member', 'Group2 Member' ]
}

Research direction
Start in the UI's Adjustments section by locating the existing Alternative id key field and follow its configuration path. Then trace how roles are read from the userinfo response; done means a configurable alternative or namespaced roles key accepts the shown Auth0-style array.
