Typing Role

I am using an enum from Prisma but I cant pass that enum as a type for additional fields 
  user: {
    additionalFields: {
      role: {
        type: "string",
        required: false,
        input: false,
      },
    },
  },
  user: {
    additionalFields: {
      role: {
        type: "string",
        required: false,
        input: false,
      },
    },
  },
(see image) is there a way to have it typed as the values of my enum instead of as 'string' ?

sometimes I forget simple solutions 
import "server-only";

import { auth } from "@/lib/auth";
import { headers } from "next/headers";
import { Session, User } from "better-auth";
import { UserRole } from "@prisma/client";

type UserWithRole = Omit<User, "role"> & { role: UserRole };

export async function getAuthSession(): Promise<{
  session: Session;
  user: UserWithRole;
} | null> {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: await headers(),
  });
  return session as { session: Session; user: UserWithRole } | null;
}
import "server-only";

import { auth } from "@/lib/auth";
import { headers } from "next/headers";
import { Session, User } from "better-auth";
import { UserRole } from "@prisma/client";

type UserWithRole = Omit<User, "role"> & { role: UserRole };

export async function getAuthSession(): Promise<{
  session: Session;
  user: UserWithRole;
} | null> {
  const session = await auth.api.getSession({
    headers: await headers(),
  });
  return session as { session: Session; user: UserWithRole } | null;
}

oh you mean this.. role: { type: roleEnum("admin"), required: false, input: false, }, i thought u want something like this

i did but its not valid better auth, so this wrapper is relatively safe since all types are directly from better auth except role

yes I have this setup, was trying to get to be more verbose on what literal strings a role can be i.e. 'user' , 'mod', 'admin'
