How to Manage Application Roles in FusionAuth Without a Bulk Import API

Does FusionAuth provide an API to import roles for an application?

[wesley]

FusionAuth does not currently offer an API specifically for importing roles in bulk. However, roles can be created for an application using the following approaches:

• Create a Single Role via API:
  Use the POST /api/application/{applicationId}/role endpoint to create roles individually.
  Documentation: Create an Application Role
• Create Multiple Roles During Application Creation:
  When creating an application via the POST /api/application endpoint, you can define multiple roles as part of the application configuration. This is the most efficient way to set up multiple roles at once if you are creating a new application.

While there isn’t a dedicated role import API, combining these endpoints allows flexibility in managing roles programmatically.
