How to update the native object of Firebase users with Angular2?

I have been implementing a role system while working with firebase and AngularFire2. In the end I was able to achieve it. I could do it with parallel collections in the realTime database, but I had doubts.

I would like to know if it is possible (and if so, how it would be done) to directly update a user created by the Firebase authentication system.

Let's say that I create a user programmatically:

this.af.auth.createUser({ 'email': email, 'password': password })
    .then(createdUser => {
        ...
        createdUser['role'] = foo;
        ...... // Como puedo decirle a Firebase que actualice el usuario recién creado al nuevo objeto?
    })
    .catch(err => console.log(err))

The truth is more theoretical, but I would like to know if this can be done, either with AngularFire2 or directly with the native Firebase API.

Good, you can update the user with these two methods of FireBase not AngularFire2: (userdata.value has the photoURL and displayName properties)

changeUser(userData) {
 if(userData.valid) {
  console.log(userData.value);
  this.auth.currentUser.updateProfile(userData.value)
    .then((success) => {
      console.log('Success', success);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    })
 }
}
changeEmail(emailData) {
 if(emailData.valid) {
  console.log(emailData.value);
  this.auth.currentUser.updateEmail(emailData.value.email)
    .then((_) => {
      console.log('Success');
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    })
 }
}

But if you want to assign user roles these systems do not support it directly.
