Default role during account creation without v2 actions.
Hi everyone! Thanks for the great product.
In our self-hosted setup, we had a flow in Actions v1 where, upon a public user registration, the user was automatically granted a default role (internal/external flow). However, after upgrading from v3 to v4, it seems that Actions v1 no longer triggers at all (we also switched to login v2 if that relatable)
I’ve read posts here suggesting that we should move to Actions v2 since v1 will be deprecated soon. But from what I can tell, there doesn’t seem to be a way to assign a role to a user internally within Zitadel the way v1 allowed.
Is there a way to implement this without having to call the API from an external backend?
Thanks

I wasn't able to find a direct answer, here are some relevant sources:
1. Converting v1 Action to v2 Action: Add a default 'role' to newly created users : This GitHub issue describes the exact same challenge you're facing and shows a working v1 Action for adding default roles to new users (1) .
2. ZITADEL Actions v2 : Explains that Actions v2 will always be executed if available, even if the feature flag is switched off, and provides the overall architecture for migrating from v1 to v2 (2) .

hey @justincase6507 thanks for your question, I will check it and will get back to you
hey @justincase6507
Actions V2 cannot add a role in-process like V1 did.
There's an open issue for something similar there's a user who did a workaround that might work for now.
