Tried to search for a duplicate. Weird this hasn't happened to anyone else. When I change role names, permissions for "administer users by role" are wiped from the role I changed the name for.

I intend to fix this as part of #2378869: Meta-issue for Beta 2 release. Please sign up as a follower of that issue and there will shortly be a patch that I would like feedback on.

The fix is to use role ID rather than role name to build the permission. We still use the name for the title that is visible to users.
