do we want to use argspec more now that this role requires 2.5 and we are not trying to maintain backwards compatibility?

Hey, what is the plan with the extended version of the aap_configuration collection?
Is there a roadmap of when that will be released supporting all the objects infra.aap_configuration currently does? Thank you

[bogdanmuresan]

New DAB RBAC API implementation.
The API asks for objects IDs - this is unusual for APIs, and would force us to use object id lookups based on names, which would be quite slow. Having to put database ids into config as code just seems wrong.
This is also a bigger issue for us, as we have the HA active passive setup (https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.1/html-single/deploying_ansible_automation_platform_2.1/index#overview) and therefor the same object would have different IDs on the 2 databases.

Also, why is role_user_assignment in ansible.platform but not role_team_assignment?
Are gateway_role_team_assignments even used in 2.5? Or is it still work in progress? Are we supposed to use the controller_roles module to manage teams RBAC, and role_user_assignment to manage user RBAC? It is getting a bit confusing..

Any insights into this?

@bogdanmuresan The role assignment pieces are still works in progress, The user assignment and other pieces along with ID's need work on the modular level. However as wrappers to the modules we can see about adding those. I was looking during the holiday break to tackling adding features to the modules to resolve some of this and making sense of things.
