Is there a way to set the role or add policies to it for SimpleSynthAction?

Currently when I create a new SimpleSynthAction, and even after it is bound, the actionProperties.role is always undefined. Additionally the props don't accept a role or policies to set during instatiation.

My synth action depends on getting permissions to a CodeArtifact repo (aws codeartifact login...).

Thank you!

Not at this time. Marking this as a feature request; we could add an optional role to the SimpleSynthOptions to be used for the CodeBuild action. PRs welcome!
