 * Hi! is it possible to rename a role after you have created it.
    I want to change
   the name of the role that I have created with the plugin but I don’t know how
   to do it.
 * Thanks
    Laura

 * Renaming is not currently supported. However, you can use the “Copy” sidebar 
   and then delete the original. You will then need to re-assign the role to any
   affected users.
