.SH "POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fIROLE_ID\fR

ID of the role to describe. Curated roles example: roles/viewer. Custom roles
example: CustomRole. For custom roles, you must also specify the
\f5\-\-organization\fR or \f5\-\-project\fR flag.

.SH "FLAGS"

.RS 2m
.TP 2m

At most one of these can be specified:


.RS 2m
.TP 2m
\fB\-\-organization\fR=\fIORGANIZATION\fR

Organization of the role you want to describe.

.TP 2m
\fB\-\-project\fR=\fIPROJECT_ID\fR

Project of the role you want to describe.

The Google Cloud project ID to use for this invocation. If omitted, then the
current project is assumed; the current project can be listed using \f5gcloud
config list \-\-format='text(core.project)'\fR and can be set using \f5gcloud
config set project PROJECTID\fR.

\f5\-\-project\fR and its fallback \f5core/project\fR property play two roles in
the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to operate on. It also
specifies the project for API enablement check, quota, and billing. To specify a
different project for quota and billing, use \f5\-\-billing\-project\fR or
\f5billing/quota_project\fR property.
