Rocket.Chat Version: 0.56.0

Node Version: v4.8.3
It's a bit of a hack, but we'd like to be able to set the role of the user based on the attributes in the CAS response if possible (as we can do for the rooms, usernames etc).

Research direction
Start by locating the CAS response attribute handling used for rooms and usernames. Clarify the supported mapping from a CAS role attribute to Rocket.Chat roles and how existing behavior should remain unchanged. Done means the intended role mapping works consistently and is covered by the relevant project tests.
