This PR extends the
datadog_roledata source to include apermissionsattribute that returns all permissions associated with a role. The permissions are returned as a map (name → ID), consistent with thedatadog_permissionsdata 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.
