93a4ed8857 chore: rename authorization to role assignment (#11588)
# Which Problems Are Solved

As part of the naming consistency initiative, the terms Authorization,
User grants, internal authorization and other similar terms that are
used in the context of assigning project roles to users are replaced by
Role Assignments in the UI, API docs, and documentation.

# How the Problems Are Solved

By replacing the following terms with Role Assignments in API docs,
Console UI, and guides.

- Authorization
- internal authorization
- external authorization
- User Grant
- Roles and Authorizations

By adding a note in the API docs to make it clear that Authorization
within the context of Authorization Service API refers to role
assignments, not to OAuth authorization as it is still used in the APIs.

By updating some screenshots in documentation / guides to show "Role
Assignments" instead of "Authorizations" in the UI.

# Granted Project
![Project Grant](../../../public/img/concepts/objects/project_grants.png)
With ZITADEL you can grant selected roles within your project to an organization. The receiving organization can then create role assignments for their users on their own (self-service).
An example could be a service provider that offers a SaaS solution that has different permissions for employees working in Sales and Accounting. As soon as a new client purchases the service, the provider could grant the roles ‘sales’ and ‘accounting’ to that organization, allowing them to self-manage how they want to allocate the roles to their users.
To learn more about how to set up Project Grants, read this guide [here](../../guides/manage/console/projects-overview#granted-projects-b2b)
