Renaming role

Renaming the role changes it DisplayName without affecting RoleName.
For example, on /Admin/ManageUsers.aspx RoleName is used - so, renaming the role does not affect this page.

It would be nice either to change RoleName with DisplaName or to use DisplayName instead of RoleName at pages.

Re: Renaming role

The reason we have display name is so role names can be localized without breaking the code. If not for this and someone renames the Admins or Content Admins role they will be locked out. We use Display name for display and rolename for checking roles.

Re: Renaming role

In this case on /Admin/ManageUsers.aspx it would be better to use DisplayName as well (now RoleName is used in the dropdown on the bottom of the page).

Re: Renaming role

Agreed. I thought it was using  DisplayName but I see now it is not. Its easy to fix without recompile since it is set in the .aspx file.
