 You can also use the special ``*`` placeholder character to define hierarchy dynamically:

 .. configuration-block::

    .. code-block:: yaml

        # config/packages/security.yaml
        security:
            # ...

            role_hierarchy:
                ROLE_*: ROLE_USER
                ROLE_*_MODERATOR: ROLE_MODERATOR

                ROLE_BLOG_*: ROLE_BLOG_READER
                ROLE_BLOG_MODERATOR: [ROLE_BLOG_DELETE_POST, ROLE_BLOG_LOCK_POST]

                ROLE_SHOP_*: ROLE_SHOP_USER
                ROLE_SHOP_MODERATOR: [ROLE_SHOP_DELETE_ITEM, ROLE_SHOP_DELETE_REVIEW]

            </config>
        </srv:container>

    .. code-block:: php

        // config/packages/security.php
        use Symfony\Config\SecurityConfig;

        return static function (SecurityConfig $security): void {
            // ...

            $security->roleHierarchy('ROLE_*', ['ROLE_USER']);
            $security->roleHierarchy('ROLE_*_MODERATOR', ['ROLE_MODERATOR']);

            $security->roleHierarchy('ROLE_BLOG_*', ['ROLE_BLOG_READER']);
            $security->roleHierarchy('ROLE_BLOG_MODERATOR', ['ROLE_BLOG_DELETE_POST', 'ROLE_BLOG_LOCK_POST']);

            $security->roleHierarchy('ROLE_SHOP_MODERATOR', ['ROLE_SHOP_DELETE_ITEM', 'ROLE_SHOP_DELETE_REVIEW']);
        };

 With this configuration, you can easily configure that:

    - Having a role grants ``ROLE_USER``.
    - All moderators have ``ROLE_MODERATOR``.
    - Anyone with the ``ROLE_BLOG_*`` can access the blog.
    - Anyone with the ``ROLE_SHOP_*`` can access the shop.

 Even if a role is not explicitly defined in the hierarchy, if it is matched by a placeholder it will inherit the roles of this placeholder:

    - Users with the ``ROLE_BLOG_ADMIN`` will also have the ``ROLE_BLOG_READER``
    - Users with the ``ROLE_NEWS_MODERATOR`` will also have the ``ROLE_MODERATOR``

 .. caution::

    The ``*`` placeholder character can only be used after a ``_`` and before a ``_`` or the end of the role name. That means role names like ``ROLE_BLOG*`` and ``ROLE_*BLOG`` will not be considered as valid placeholders.

 .. versionadded:: 6.4

    The placeholder syntax was introduced in Symfony 6.4.
