Documentation of custom roles and permissions with the admin plugin are inaccurate

I guess that the documentation of better auth for custom roles and permissions is inaccurate. If you configure the admin plugin like that: 
export const auth = betterAuth({
...
  plugins: [
    adminPlugin({
      accessControl,
      roles: {
        admin: admin,
        patient: patient,
        physician: physician
      },
    }) 
  ],
...
});
export const auth = betterAuth({
...
  plugins: [
    adminPlugin({
      accessControl,
      roles: {
        admin: admin,
        patient: patient,
        physician: physician
      },
    }) 
  ],
...
});
Only the default statements user and session are accepted in auth.api.userHasRole. If you want to use own permissions you have to also configure the ac property like that: 
export const auth = betterAuth({
...
  plugins: [
    adminPlugin({
      ac: accessControl,
      roles: {
        admin: admin,
        patient: patient,
        physician: physician
      }
    }) 
  ],
...
});
export const auth = betterAuth({
...
  plugins: [
    adminPlugin({
      ac: accessControl,
      roles: {
        admin: admin,
        patient: patient,
        physician: physician
      }
    }) 
  ],
...
});
Is this worth an issue for the documentation?

I guess that is true, if the access control constant is not named ac but has another name.
