"openstack role create" should support "--description"

[Guang Yee]

It would be nice to be able to create a new role with description as Keystone API supports it.

openstack role create --help
usage: openstack role create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
                             [-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
                             [--print-empty] [--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
                             [--domain <domain>] [--or-show]
                             <role-name>

This sounds reasonable from a CLI point of view, but I don't recall if keystone roles have a description attribute for both v2 and v3. Adding keystone as a related project.

In order to implement this in keystone, we'd need a migration to add a new column to the role table. Right now only id, name, domain_id, and extras are persisted in the role table [0].

Since we're getting close the Pike release this might be a good thing to fix as soon as Queens opens for development, especially since it requires a database migration.

Hi m-nitesh,

I just missed your ping on IRC. We have documentation that explains how to add and sync your database [0]. If you have any questions, please feel free to come find me in #openstack-keystone.

Thanks for picking up the bug!

Targeting this to pike-3, which is this week. If we don't land it by the end of the week, we'll wait for Queens to open for development.

[Lance Bragstad (lbragstad)]

Removing this from pike-3 (which has passed) since it is unlikely to land by the time we have to cut the rc candidate. We'll re-target this work for Queens.

Automatically unassigning due to inactivity.
