Where is the problem occurring?

I'm not sure

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Current behavior

User logged in via OAuth, "Edit role" not available - changing the role is not possible.
User created manually by an administrator. "Edit role" is active - role changes are allowed.

Desired behavior

"Edit role" field should be available and editable for all users, including those authenticated via OAuth. Administrators must be able to change roles regardless of the user's registration method.

Steps to reproduce

Setup OAuth in docker-compose.yml
Login via OAuth
Try to change the role of the OAuth user via the admin panel using an admin account

Other information

v2.0.0-rc.2

I too have stumbled a bit in resolving this issue.

https://docs.planka.cloud/docs/configuration/oidc

When using the OIDC configuration, the default seems to be to try to find the role from the authentication source.
It seems that by setting OIDC_IGNORE_ROLES to true, it is possible to set roles on Planka.

Yes, it really worked! It wasn't obvious after I upgraded, and there was nothing about this in the upgrade manual. Thank you so much!
