      from jsonb_array_elements_text(
            (default_user_role_permissions -> 'permissionGrantPoliciesAssigned')::jsonb
          ) as pol(val)
      where val like 'ManagePermissionGrantsForSelf.%'
    ) then 'alarm'
    else 'ok'
  end as status,
  case when exists (

          ) as pol(val)
      where val like 'ManagePermissionGrantsForSelf.%'
    ) then t.display_name || ' user consent for applications allowed.'
