Create a collection of users under job role

Gather a collection of all users with a job role under the job role object so that we can report on which users are assigned to a specific role from a nested object in a role report.

Especially admins need to see who is in a given role, so being able to explore the users associated with that role. You'd think this collection would be needed for resource management!

You could simply use the API to pull all users with a particular role.

/attask/api/v7.0/user/search/?role:ID=5a0369dd0067c737108876459ce43853

Or if you need to say, count the number of users per role you could do a report

/attask/api/v7.0/user/report/?role:ID_1_GroupBy=true&role:name_AggFunc=count

I agree workfront should better support object cross-references though.

I think resource pools bucketed by role could give you a good view from the planner perspective.
