Indicate inherited permissions when creating/editing a role

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

If you have a role in the Icingaweb2 Access Control that inherits from another role (that could act as a template for many roles) it would be nice to see the permissions inherited from that "parent" role. This makes it hard to keep an overview on what exact permission comes from another role or not.

Hi,

that's what the Audit view is for. Isn't this enough?

It is enough, at least for already existing roles. IMHO it would be nice to have a view that shows the permissions of the parent role when i am creating a role, but i think thats more like a "nice-to-have" thing.

I heard the same request at the latest customer visit. The audit view is helpful to understand why a user/group has permissions/restrictions. Being able to see that a permission is inherited while creating/editing a role would be additionally very helpful to those who have to manage many roles.
