Convert user role field to a computed field

[Nowaker]

"role" cannot be changed once a user is in the system. Once it's created and role has changed in the meantime, terraform plan will always suggest changing the role. However, terraform apply won't change anything, and subsequent terraform plan will want to change the role again. If it's not possible to change one's role via API, it's better to convert this field as computed so it doesn't complicate things.

I was going to try to fix this somehow but I'm wondering if the API has changed for users.

When I do a POST (to create user), passing in:

{
  "role": "test role",
  "email": "test@example.com",
  "handle": "test@example.com",
  "name": "test user",
  "access_role": "st"
}

I'm still getting back a user object with role set to null. On PUTs with role set to some value, I still get back a null role.

I've done this with a new trial account with the admin keys. I've reached out to Datadog support to understand what the behavior should be.

I'm investigating internally what the behaviour of role should be, the UI has the same issue.

role isn't supported anymore, going to deprecate the corresponding argument.
