This is my Security Configurati

Answer 1

For adding Roles you need to have a table containing username and its corresponding role.
Suppose a user has two roles namely, ADMIN and USER

One User can have multiple roles.

@Override
public Collection getAuthorities() {
    final List authorities = new LinkedList<>();
    if (enabled) {
        if (this.getUser().isAdmin()) {
            authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_ADMIN"));
        }
        authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority("ROLE_USER"));
    }
        return authorities;
}

This can be called as,

private UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken getAuthentication(
final String token, final HttpServletRequest req,
final HttpServletResponse res){
    return new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(userAccount, null,
    userAccount.getAuthorities());
}
