Hi

This was changed since it was actually a bug in the naming, it should have
been userRoles from the start (and this is reflected other places).

There shouldn't be a need for a migration path though? unless you mean for
old code? for the users themselves, nothing has changed internally (same
database tables etc), so it should be easy as changing userAuthorityGroups
to userRoles in your code.

I can probably provide a setter for userAuthorityGroups (which just points
to userRoles) if you want, but even better if you can just change the code,
let me know.
