mod_http_oauth2: Add role selector to consent page List includes all roles available to the user, if more than one. Defaults to either the first role in the scope string or the users primary role. Earlier draft listed all roles, but having options that can't be selected is bad UX and the entire list of all roles on the server could be long, and perhaps even sensitive. Allows e.g. picking a role with fewer permissions than what might otherwise have been selected. UX wise, doing this with more checkboxes or possibly radio buttons would have been confusion and/or looked messier. Fixes the previous situation where unselecting a role would default to the primary role, which could be more permissions than requested.

summary: Authorization delegation
rockspec: {}
...

This module allows delegating authorization questions (role assignment and
role policies) to another host within prosody.

The primary use of this is for a group of virtual hosts to use a common
authorization database, for example to allow a MUC component to grant
administrative access to an admin on a corresponding user virtual host.

## Configuration

The following example will make all role assignments for local and remote JIDs
from domain.example effective on groups.domain.example:

```
VirtualHost "domain.example"

Component "groups.domain.example" "muc"
    authorization = "delegate"
    authz_delegate_to = "domain.example"
```
