Creating and Deleting Roles
The three default roles are Administrator, Media Logger, and Journalist. You can create additional roles and name them as you like. You cannot rename or delete the Administrator role.
In Interplay Central v1.2.x and earlier, the names of roles were case-sensitive. As a result, the roles Journalist and JOURNALIST were treated as separate roles. In Interplay Central v1.3 and later, names of roles are no longer case-sensitive and cannot be duplicated. If you upgraded from a version earlier than Interplay Central v1.3, any duplicate roles were renamed, for example, JOURNALIST DUPLICATE_d8abb. You can rename this role to something more meaningful.
