ArcGIS Server SOI - HandleRESTRequest Parameter limitations

The SOI Rest request handler method -

public byte[] HandleRESTRequest(string Capabilities, string resourceName, string operationName,
            string operationInput, string outputFormat, string requestProperties, out string responseProperties)

HandleRESTRequest paramater provides following information inside the method

capabilities Map,Query,Data
 resourceName layers/0, 
operationName query, 
operationInput {"returnZ":false,"returnIdsOnly":false,
"where":"","returnDistinctValues":false,"returnM":false,"returnCountOnly":false,"returnExtentsOnly":false,
"returnTrueCurves":false,"returnGeometry":true,
"spatialRel":"esriSpatialRelIntersects","geometryType":"esriGeometryEnvelope"}, outputFormat json, 
requestProperties {"computeETag":true,"ETag":"\"c429a59c\""}, 
responseProperties {"Content-Type":"text/plain"}

But it has no way of telling service name and layer name ...other than using layer index from resourceName if you want to perform layer specific operation in layers.

[Code Snippet] How to a create user in arcgis portal with a custom role?

Create a user or add member in ArcGIS portal with a custom role -

1. Get all custom roles from the portal, I presumed that the portal already has custom roles other than (org_user, org_publisher, org_admin)

from arcgis.gis import *
gis= GIS(portalUrl, userName, password)
allRoles = gis.users.roles.all(max_roles=50)

2. Create a User with Default Role

username="test"
password=''
firstname='test_name'
lastname='test_last'
email='test@test.com'
description = 'Test Account'
role = 'org_publisher'
provider = 'enterprise'
idp_username = 'test'
level = 2
thumbnail = None

newUser = gis.users.create(username, password,firstname,
               lastname, email, description, role, provider, 
               idp_username, level, thumbnail)


3. Update  the defualt role to Custom Role - Assign the role object not role name

#Assigning the first role out of many portal roles, as an example
status = newUser.update_role(role=allRoles[0]) 
print(status)

If role assigned success, the value of status will be True.
