Description
I'm working on a project that tries to use DDD and Clean Architecture principles. The project integrates with a third-party service for authentication and role management. In this context, I face a specific challenge:
Situation:
- We use a third-party service to handle authentication.
- Roles are created in this third-party service via an API call.
- In our domain, we have a corresponding Role entity.
- The creation of our Role entity is dependent on the successful creation of a role in the third-party service.
Question:
**Interface Definition:** In the context of DDD and Clean Architecture, where should I define the interfaces for this role synchronization process? Should they be part of the Core layer, UseCase layer, or elsewhere?
**Implementation Location:** Considering the dependency on an external service, where is it most appropriate to place the implementation of these interfaces? _**How should the interaction between our system and the third-party service be structured to maintain the integrity of our architecture?**_
I'm looking for guidance on structuring this functionality and please If you find it useful add similar situation to the sample for better understanding when integration with third party services is needed.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository's Core and UseCase boundaries and its third-party integration guidance; document where role-synchronization interfaces and implementations belong, and add a comparable sample if an appropriate example location exists.
