Application Security Descriptor Configuration Syntax is missing Role Collection configuration

[sebastianesch]

Issue description

Hi,

the chapter describing the xs-security.json syntax does not cover role collections. There is an example how to include role collections available here: https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/create-role-collections-with-predefined-roles

But it would be nice, if the role collection part would also be described in the general reference for the Application Security Descriptor and not only in the Tasks on Demand section. It would also be nice to describe all elements of the role collection definition if there are more then the ones used in the example.

Kind regards,
Sebastian

Actually I just noticed, that the role-collection information is already there but not included in the example at the top of the page where you can navigate to the different sections. I did not notice the point "role-collection" in the right navigation ("On this page").

From my point of view, adding role collections to the example makes it easier to find the section at the bottom of the page.

Hello Sebastian,

I am going to look into your request.

For the time being, I recommend to use the blog on the Authorization and Trust Management product page. Blog: https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/creating-role-collections-in-sap-btp-using-the-new-role-collections/ba-p/13404427

Your suggestion to include the role-collection example into the first central example makes sense. However, such a change has low priority.

I created a related backlog item. See https://jira.tools.sap/browse/SECDOC-1931
