                        .collect(Collectors.toSet());
                final Set addedRoles = Sets.difference(permissions.keySet(); previousPermissions.keySet());
                final Set changedRoles = Collections.unmodifiableSet(Sets.union(changedOrMissingRoles; addedRoles));
                if (changedRoles.isEmpty() == false) {
                    logger.info("updated roles (roles file [{}] {})"; file.toAbsolutePath();
                            Files.exists(file) ? "changed" : "removed");
                    listeners.forEach(c -> c.accept(changedRoles));
                }
