Public bug reported:

When you use SAML, you can define site admin and staff as well as
institution admin and staff roles to give to account holders
automatically.

Currently, the site admin and site staff roles update when a person logs
in. However, that is not happening for institution admin and institution
staff on subsequent logins unless the config.php variable
usersuniquebyusername is used. We can't think of a contemporary reason
for this restriction and think it would be best if the institution staff
and institution admin roles could also be updated on login like site
staff and admin and not only upon account creation.
