Creating users error: /roles endpoint Keycloak HTTP 404

Question

I've got trouble with creating users via restapi on my keycloak service again. It's creating a user but not assiging the correct role afterwards.

Figured out that the code failes on the following part

    private void assignRoleToUser(String userId, String role){
        Keycloak keycloak = getAdminKeycloak();
        UsersResource usersResource = keycloak.realm(realm).users();
        UserResource userResource = usersResource.get(userId);
        ClientResource clientResource =keycloak.realm(realm).clients().get(clientId);
        RoleRepresentation clientRole = clientResource.roles().get(role).toRepresentation(); //<-- here
        userResource.roles().clientLevel(clientId).add(Collections.singletonList(clientRole));
    }

It returns me a HTTP 404 error. Digging deeper and it looks like that the .roles() method failes. The User is created in my keycloak, just my role is not assigned. .roles():

@Path("/roles")
    RolesResource roles();

Any idea how to fix this? Getting frustrated by now.

Look's like I got confused by the confusing api design of keycloak. Fixed it and put up a github gist:
