Get/Update/Remove custom roles using nodejs gcp sdk

[lucastrustle]

Hello people!

I am digging in to the documentation related to gcp nodejs sdk, but I cannot find anything related to get/list/update/delete custom roles using the nodejs sdk. I am using @Google-gcp/iam npm package, but I only can get information related to policies. I have noticed that for other languajes there is a different library called iam-admin or thing like that and it allows to do the things that I want. I wonder if that methods are in a different package. Can you help me?
Thank you in advance!

Hi @lucastrustle,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Unfortunately, I believe it's not possible to get, list, update, or delete custom roles with the @Google-cloud/iam library. Instead, you may want to use the more general-purpose package which is googleapis. Here is the link to the official documentation.

You can install the library by running the command[1]:

npm install googleapis

From there, you may want to utilize the organizations.roles[2] or the projects.roles[3] methods.

I hope this answers your question. Thanks.
