SecurityProperties [security.user.role=USER] not working

[boostrack]

According to:
http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#common-application-properties-security

security.user.role=USER # can be set but if one does that all tests are failing

This is in due to:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'securityProperties': Could not bind properties; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'user.role' of bean class [org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.SecurityProperties]: Bean property 'role' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

Below is the full stack trace that shows the problem:
