Symfony Super Roles have no access to Base Roles

Question

The Super Role has no access to the inherited Roles..??

This is how my role hierarchy looks like:

role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_ADMIN:           [ROLE_BACKEND_USER, ROLE_SALES]
    ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN:     ROLE_ADMIN
    ROLE_SALES:           ROLE_USER
    ROLE_BACKEND_USER:    ROLE_USER

When I log in as an ADMIN I can see that the I have inherited roles "ROLE_BACKEND_USER"; "ROLE_SALES" and "ROLE_USER".

However, I cannot access the ROLE_SALES though I have inherited the Role.

if(!$this->getUser()->hasRole('ROLE_SALES')) {

 throw new AccessDeniedException('Cannot loggin Need ROLE_SALES ');

}

Also $this->get('security.authorization_checker')->isGranted('ROLE_CARMANDO') does work..

PS: Iam using FOS Bundle too.
