When specifying roles to be created, the names provided for each role must not conflict with the names that CM auto-generates for roles. Specifically, names of the form "--" cannot be used unless the is the same one CM would use. If CM detects such a conflict, the error message will indicate what is safe to use. Alternately, a differently formatted name should be used. Since API v6: The role name can be left blank to allow CM to generate the name.
