Hello, i’ve set up an administrator role in my app and I’d like to be able to search for a user based on their roles since the main dashboard does not filter by roles.

I have the search functionality working and I’m able to search by anything within the user’s metadata. Although, I noticed all the roles are empty strings even though I have 5 designated Roles on the “Authorization Core”.

Is there a way to automate this so that Core Roles will populate into user metadata?

Thanks, Ryan

Hi @jewellry,

You can automate this action with a [log stream](https://auth0.com/docs/logs/export-log-events-with-log-streaming).

Any time a ` "type": "sapi", "description": "Assign roles to a user"` log comes through, you could make a call to the management API to update the user’s app\_metadata.
