[req] Allow json pointers when specifying a user claim

[taki-mekhalfa]

Hello,
Is it possible to allow for JSON pointers when specifying a user_claim in JWT roles?
In some cases, the user is uniquely identified by a non root attribute, as for the following example:

{
  "iat": 1629710930,
  "jti": "1a418f37-4358-4648-b41f-006e62ce0b87",
  "exp": 1629718130,
  "scope": "public",
  "user": {
     "email": "takiedd.mekhalfa@gmail.com",
     "full_name": "Taki Eddine MEKHALFA",
   }
}

It would be great if we could do user_claime="/user/email".

I would be happy to work on this feature if you think it can be done without breaking something else.

Thank you,
Taki

Hi, @taki-mekhalfa! I just noticed that we already have a PR open (#148) for adding this feature. I'm happy to move that PR forward now that we have some expressed interest in it.

@ryanleis - I would also like to see this capability added to the plugin. I'll be advocating to get this prioritized with my team and will provide an update shortly.
