Summary

Creates a new role in the system database for the context database.

If $role-name is not unique, an error is returned.

If one of the $role-names does not identify a role, an error is returned.

If the current user is limited to granting only his/her roles, and $role-names is not a subset of the current user's roles, then an error is returned.

Returns the role-id.
