You should fill in the content of role by yourself when creating your UserDetails:

public class SecurityUser implements UserDetails{
    String ROLE_PREFIX = "ROLE_";

    String userName;
    String password;
    String role;

    public SecurityUser(String username, String password, String role){
        this.userName = username;
        this.password = password;
        this.role = role;
    }

    @Override
    public Collection getAuthorities() {
        List list = new ArrayList();

        list.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority(ROLE_PREFIX + role));

        return list;
    }

Basically, what you need to do is override method: getAuthorities, and fill in the content of your role field into the GrantedAuthority list.
