Creates a new custom Role.

Deletes a custom Role. When you delete a custom role, the following changes occur immediately: * You cannot bind a principal to the custom role in an IAM Policy. * Existing bindings to the custom role are not changed, but they have no effect. * By default, the response from ListRoles does not include the custom role. You have 7 days to undelete the custom role. After 7 days, the following changes occur: * The custom role is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. * If an IAM policy contains a binding to the custom role, the binding is permanently removed.

`create(parent, body=None, x__xgafv=None)`

Each resource type's `parent` value format is described below: * [`projects.roles.create()`](https://cloud.google.com/iam/reference/rest/v1/projects.roles/create): `projects/{PROJECT_ID}`. This method creates project-level [custom roles](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-custom-roles). Example request URL: `https://iam.googleapis.com/v1/projects/{PROJECT_ID}/roles` * [`organizations.roles.create()`](https://cloud.google.com/iam/reference/rest/v1/organizations.roles/create): `organizations/{ORGANIZATION_ID}`. This method creates organization-level [custom roles](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-custom-roles).
