Cloud Formation template for AWS::ElastiCache::GlobalReplicationGroup

Question

wanted to create Redis global datastore using CF , following the guidelines https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-elasticache-globalreplicationgroup.html

but no luck, I can create Redis cluster but not the global data store : My code:

if any one can help , I am getting This error:

Properties validation failed for resource globalreplication with message: #/Members/0/Role: #: only 1 subschema matches out of 2 #/Members/0/Role: failed validation constraint for keyword [enum]

globalreplication:
Type: AWS::ElastiCache::GlobalReplicationGroup
DependsOn: RedisService
Properties:
  AutomaticFailoverEnabled: false
  GlobalReplicationGroupDescription: description example
  GlobalReplicationGroupIdSuffix: test
  Members:
    - ReplicationGroupId: !Ref ClusterName
      ReplicationGroupRegion: eu-west-1
      Role: PRIMARY

This will add the primary node and create new global data store and then need to add the secondary node in the newly created global data store , you can see the prefixes here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/red-ug/Redis-Global-Datastores-CLI.html:

RedisService:
Type: AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup
Properties:
  CacheSubnetGroupName: !Ref RedisSubnetGroup
  ReplicationGroupId: !Ref ClusterName
  SecurityGroupIds:
    - !Ref ElasticacheComponentSecurityGroup
