NAME
    gcloud alpha iam roles describe - show metadata for a role

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha iam roles describe ROLE_ID
        [--organization=ORGANIZATION | --project=PROJECT_ID]
        [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) This command shows metadata for a role.

    This command can fail for the following reasons:
      ▪ The role specified does not exist.
      ▪ The active user does not have permission to access the given role.

EXAMPLES
    To print metadata for the role spanner.databaseAdmin of the organization
    1234567, run:

        $ gcloud alpha iam roles describe roles/spanner.databaseAdmin \
            --organization=1234567

    To print metadata for the role spanner.databaseAdmin of the project
    myproject, run:

        $ gcloud alpha iam roles describe roles/spanner.databaseAdmin \
            --project=myproject

    To print metadata for a predefined role, spanner.databaseAdmin, run:

        $ gcloud alpha iam roles describe roles/spanner.databaseAdmin

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

FLAGS
     At most one of these can be specified:

       --organization=ORGANIZATION
          Organization of the role you want to describe.

       --project=PROJECT_ID
          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 gcloud config list --format='text(core.project)' and can
          be set using gcloud config set project PROJECTID.

          --project and its fallback core/project 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 --billing-project or billing/quota_project property.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud iam roles describe

        $ gcloud beta iam roles describe
