identity server - get updated claims with refresh token

I put some claims in the access token that comes from DB while login (e.g. entity_id and role). Now at some stage the entity_id claim gets changed and I need to get a new access token with the updated claims. I am doing this using the refresh token to get a new access token but it comes with the same old claims inside; may be because the class implementing IResourceOwnerPasswordValidator is not being called in case of refresh token. So how can I get the updated claims in access token? Because user has to logout and re-login otherwise to get the entity_id and role claims updated.

I know the other option is to make use of the /userinfo endpoint for claims but my question here is in this case how the [Authorize(Roles = "Manager")] attribute of ASP.NET Core will work and get to know about roles if they don't exist in the access token?

Or put differently - data that changes often is not a good candidate for claims in tokens.

That said - you can make identityserver run through the profile service pipeline again when getting a refreshed token - see here:
