Alex -

Thanks so much for the reply.  The documentation is spot-on and provides a
great introduction to role manipulation for Overcloud deployment.

Now that I have a better context for what I'm trying to ask, I think I want
to clarify that my request is more in line with the role types that are
available for assignment prior to deployment.

In the TripleO UI, several Roles are available for assigning nodes:  Block
Storage, Ceph Storage, Compute, Controller, and Object Storage.

My goal is to create an additional role for assignment in this dialogue.  I
understand now, based on your feedback and that of Steve Hardy, I can
manipulate roles per the Overcloud deployment.  However, I'm interested in
manipulating the list of roles that are available for assignment per the
UI.  I was hoping the UI was aligned close enough with tripleoclient to
provide a straight-forward interface for this, but I may be wrong.

This might be one for the UI guys.  I'll start pinging them in their
timezone.  But in the mean time if you have any suggestions, I would
appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!
