Spring Security Grails Plugin working with existing Database Schema?

Question

I recently ran into a situation where I wanted to implement Grails + Spring Security over an existing database schema. The Database already had a users table, a roles based table and the relationship roles+user table. I am able to map the users domain to the existing schema.. but where I am running into problems is when trying to tie in the roles and user roles.

Any ideas? Does this make sense or do I need to include more info?

take a look at the documentation here on how to configure alternate tables for the roles
