Sorry for the delay in replying (pto). The overcloud roles actions
operate on a folder. By default this is
/usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/roles. However it does
provide a command line parameter to change this folder to where ever
you would like to keep your custom roles.  The docs around this are
currently up for review[0] but we do have an existing readme in the
roles folder[1] that has some of this information.  The plan is to
eventually allow for some mistral actions around roles, but we
probably won't have that until later.  Right now this is purely a
tripleoclient function.

Thanks,
-Alex
