Hi Soumya Mukhopadhyay,

I think you should use GrantRole to assign the role dynamically. 

I also try to use system entities Role to create the new roles and then use User_Role entity action to assign them to the user. You can see the attached OML for reference but I do not see any success.

Thanks

As far as I know, you cannot create roles dynamically using the Role system entity. The entity and actions to do so are available, but it won't work properly.

However, granting/revoking roles via the User_Role entity is definitely possible. I've done it many times.

Hi Soumya,

when you create a new role you have available a list of actions for that role:

You can use them to grant and revoke roles in runtime.

Hello,

Additionally to what José posted, you can also manipulate the System entity User_Role to grant/revoke roles:
