    Hi Andrew. We need that resource to be able to cover all of our Atlas configuration with Terraform. Right now, we need to set the roles manually, which isn't a huge pain, but in an infrastructure where we're nearing 1000 resources under management, we'd really rather have code keep track of it instead of people. I actually tried submitting a pull request for this, following your encouragement, but your colleague, Melissa Plunkett, wrote back that you are "working on our internal process/procedure so it may take a little time", so I don't know what will be quicker -- my submission or this feature request.

    Hi Michal, Thanks for flagging this. Can you add any color to how important this is for you? We are looking to prioritize amongst the various resources that could be extended next. By the way, the Terraform provider is open source and open to contributors if you'd be interested! Thanks a lot -Andrew
