I totally agree with Brian. You would be spending way too much time trying to rename than you would with adding a new role that fits your requirement.
Besides even after you successfully rename assuming you found every workflow it was referenced in etc., you'll be making any future upgrades that much more difficult and adding another small complexity to an upgrade process that BMC Software has been continually been trying to simplify. It is simply not worth the trouble.

This could potentially break a few things. The roles are very basic terms. Some organizations I've worked with have some heart burn over using these, but for the most part they are pretty self-explanatory what they do. Usually organizations that have roles that don't fit into these buckets want to add and/or modify the roles. Take a Security Officer or Property Custodian. These are unique roles I've seen. However, both of them manage the asset, which would have the role Managed by. Security Officer manages the asset from a security standpoint and the Property custodian manages it from an inventory management standpoint. Both roles are the same, but the functions they perform under managing an asset are different. An option may be to add a function field to AST:AssetPeople. This way you could add as many functions as you want as the organization changes. Just a thought.
