Database_Exception [ 1146 ]: Table 'database.roles' doesn't exist [ SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `roles` ]

Question

I am currently setting up a new project and creating my login system. For some reason it seems to be searching for a roles table? This is my structure so far:

Controller

public function action_index()
{
    //Check login
    if ( Auth::instance()->logged_in() ):
        HTTP::redirect('/', 302);
    endif;

    if ( Request::current()->post() ):
        if( Auth::instance()->login( $_POST['username'], $_POST['password'] ) ):
            echo Debug::vars($_POST); exit;
        endif;
    endif;

    $view = View::factory('index/home');

    $index_page = $view->render();  
    $this->response->body($index_page);         
}

Model

class Model_User extends Model_Auth_User {

protected $_table_name = "users";
protected $_primary_val = "user_id";

protected $_table_columns = array(
'user_id'        => array('type' => 'int'),
'team_id'        => array('type' => 'int'),
'username'       => array('type' => 'string'),
'password'       => array('type' => 'string'),
);

And the error I am getting is

Database_Exception [ 1146 ]: Table 'database.roles' doesn't exist [ SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `roles` ]

Can anyone explain why it is looking for a table called roles? The table in the database is called users.

As you can see in the API browser, Model_Auth_User has the following has_many relationship:

"roles" => array(2) (
   "model" => string(4) "Role"
   "through" => string(11) "roles_users"
)

This is where the error originates from (as you extend said class).

In ORM's module folder you find the SQL schema used for default authentication:

INSERT INTO `roles` (`id`, `name`, `description`) VALUES(1, 'login', 'Login privileges, granted after account confirmation');
