04/29/2023, 7:01 PMIs there an overview of all the roles in the system somewhere? Also when creating a role for the first time, can this be done in a seed file, for example? Does supertokens remember the roles I create? Or do I have to create them each time right before I assign them to someone?

04/30/2023, 5:18 AMThere is an api to get all the roles and get all permissions per role
