Here's how it's implemented in JHipster:

Do you have an idea of when this feature will be available? Thank you.

Can whip up a structural directive for the Angular piece of this.

@cmckni3 I’d love to see your code if you’ve already implemented this.

@mraible I have not gotten around to it. There's an example of a structural directive in the Angular docs

@mraible - Can you give an example of what SDK support you're looking for here?

It'd be a directive like this:

<div *hasGroup="'ROLE_ADMIN'">...</div>

Or:

<div *hasGroup="['Administrator', 'Manager']">...</div>

Where the values would need to exist in the groups claim of the ID token. JHipster has a similar directive (noted in this issue's description) and it works well with Okta providing you configure the groups claim.
