2024-03-27 09:55:49,465 ERROR c.e.xp.portal.impl.main.MainExecutor - Error while executing com.acme.example.tsup Application controller
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.lang.NullPointerException: displayName is required for a role

The documentation is unclear https://developer.enonic.com/docs/xp/stable/api/lib-auth#createrole

Sidenote: I appUsers it's not possible to create a role without displayName. The name is just sanitized displayName.

We have two possible solutions:

  1. Make displayName required in the type and documentation OR
  2. Make it possible to create a role without passing displayName

We won't change Java API (for now, at least), so displayName will have to stay required. We have to fix the TS code though, because displayName is currently nullable there (for users and groups as well). Added a separate task for the docs: https://github.com/enonic/doc-xp/issues/523.
