Possible to share your own roles?

[Ben West]

I see from this wiki page there is the ability to import pre-defined, shared roles provided by Scalr.net:
https://scalr-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Packages+-+Sync+Shared+Roles

This appears to be the underlying PHP code, with hardcoded pointer to https://my.scalr.net/storage/shared-roles.php:
https://github.com/Scalr/scalr/blob/master/app/tools/sync_shared_roles.php

Can this be extended to end users to let them share their own roles?  The contents of sync_shared_roles.php look straightforward to duplicate and modify.

The "sending end" for such role sharing appears to be this file shared-roles.php:
https://github.com/Scalr/scalr/blob/master/app/www/storage/shared-roles.php

This file is indeed present at /opt/scalr-server/embedded/scalr/app/www/storage/shared-roles.php on current version open source Scalr server installations.

I would  gather such a feature would not pose a significant security concern, since the data retrieved from scalr.net in the course of syncing shared roles are themselves presumably anonymized.

Sync share roles script was created to distribute and update Scalr pre-made roles, it was not designed to use for anything beyond this.

Can you please elaborate on your use case? What problem you're trying to solve?
