I achieve this behaviour by implementing my own EntityUserProvider and overriding loadByUsername($username) method :

   /**
    * Load an user from its username
    * @param string $username
    * @return UserInterface
    */
   public function loadUserByUsername($username)
   {
      $user = $this->repository->findOneByEmailJoinedToCustomerAccount($username);

      if (null === $user)
      {
         throw new UsernameNotFoundException(sprintf('User "%s" not found.', $username));
      }

      //Custom function to definassigned roles to an user
      $roles = $this->loadRolesForUser($user);

      //Set roles to the user entity
      $user->setRoles($roles);

      return $user;
   }

The trick is to call setRoles each time you call loadByUsername ... Hope it helps
