The `role` parameter can take the role as a string. Guessing from the Terraform equivalent, that this is the name of the role. The name of the role can be parsed out of the ARN, it's everything from "role/" to the end...

Yeah, it seems pretty terrible that I would have to parse the name out of the arn.

Then maybe I use <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/aws/getarn/> and try to figure out what part I need...

If it's easier than getting another party to update their code?
You can't even use Role.get, since it needs an id and a name... :face_with_rolling_eyes:

It's probably easier than asking them to change their code. I have to do it now.

It's the "resource" part of the arn. It will be "role/&lt;rolename&gt;".

Looks like I still need to drop the pulumi -23498 off the end. Maybe I just had an instance vs a role.

It will be the argument to get them to change their code

Wasn't able to make any of it work so far...

the resource didn't work, the resource with -39845 removed didn't work. I was about to beat around the bush with trying to use Role.get() with the resource() but I think it's sort of evident it's likely not going to work

looks like my bad. You need to remove the role/ in front of the string. Removing the trailing instance will not work. Thanks again.
