Can't add more than one Role for same user using Grant-RsCatalogItemRole

[ClaudioESSilva]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
bug

What is the current behavior?
It gives an error when we try to add a 2nd role to an existing user.

Error occurred while granting Content Manager to User on /Folder! Exception calling "SetPolicies" with "2" argument(s): "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The policy for
'User' user or group is not valid. The role assignment is either empty, specifies a user or group name that is already used in an existing role assignment for the current item, or specifies duplicate roles for the same user or group. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.InvalidPolicyDefinitionException: The policy for 'User' user or group is not valid. The role assignment is either empty, specifies a user or group name that is already used in an existing role assignment for the current item, or specifies duplicate roles for the same user or group.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem.
Create new folder
New-RsFolder -ReportServerUri $reportServerUri -RsFolder "/" -FolderName "Folder"

Grant permissions - Works correctly
Grant-RsCatalogItemRole -ReportServerUri $reportServerUri -Path "/Folder" -RoleName 'Browser' -Identity "User"

When try to run the following - will fail
Grant-RsCatalogItemRole -ReportServerUri $reportServerUri -Path "/Folder" -RoleName 'Browser' -Identity "User"

What is the expected behavior?
That the new Role is appended to the existing ones.

Which versions of Powershell and which OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of our scripts?
PowerShell v5.0
Windows 10

Not that I'm aware of.

Notes
I have and will submit a fix.

I was still getting this error:

New-RsFolder -ReportServerUri $ReportServerUri -Credential $rptLogin -RsFolder '/' -FolderName "Test"
New-RsFolder -ReportServerUri $ReportServerUri -Credential $rptLogin -RsFolder "/Test" -FolderName "Other"
Grant-RsCatalogItemRole -ReportServerUri $ReportServerUri -Credential $rptLogin -Identity "User" -Path "/Test" -RoleName "Browser"
Grant-RsCatalogItemRole -ReportServerUri $ReportServerUri -Credential $rptLogin -Identity "User" -Path "/Test/Other" -RoleName "Content Manager"

The reason was if you specify the Identity as "User" it will work for the first call however it converts the Identity to "SERVER_NAME\User" on second run it does not pickup the fact that the Identity already exists and produces the same error.

No sure if there should be a warning about this or if the module should be modified to check for SERVER_NAME\ prefix and if it does not exist then add it.

I am on 0.0.4.9, Was it fixed as part of this version? I am still getting this error while adding more than one role for same user:
