This PR extends the
datadog_role
data source to include apermissions
attribute that returns all permissions associated with a role. The permissions are returned as a map (name → ID), consistent with thedatadog_permissions
data source format. This enhancement enables users to programmatically inherit permissions from existing roles when creating custom roles, rather than manually maintaining permission lists.If preferable this can be made into a different datasource all_together (i.e.
datadog_role_permissions
)Example:
Without this feature, users have to manually enumerate every single permission ID from the base role, which is error-prone and difficult to maintain as permissions change over time.
