      1/ try exporting of role xml (from role view page)
      2/ test adding of new roles - based on other role, archetype or xml preset
      3/ test resetting of existing role to other role, archetype or xml preset (note you can intentionally select both role and xml at the same time, this is useful if xml does not contain all capabilities)
      4/ test editing of roles
      5/ test deleting of roles

      6/ test new installation - verify the roles,contextlevels,archetypes,allowxxx, etc. are the same as before

    Description

      Suggest to implement "import / export" settings for the role "permissions". See the two proposed solutions (probably only one need to be implemented)... This is particularly useful for larger "enterprise-level" moodle implementation as we often have staging, testing, and development moodle installations and if we have customized role settings, it is a pain in the butt to manually change all of them one by one (it's a long list of the "Permissions" for all the newly deployed moodle instances. Thanks!
