Thank you Judy, it's very useful.
I'd only add one observation to the out-of-the-box roles behavior, but expect
who played with the Series must know about it.
The thing is when you edit the default Series and then re-start the system, all
editing will be cleared or reset to the default setup (but any new Series
created by admin will stay intact).
This is because of the setup in the config. properties
org.opencastproject.security.demo.loadusers = true
Therefore to re-tain your changes in Series, this must set to it 'false'
immediate after the first re-boot.
I don't whether there is any better solution?

I did try this in the config. properties (on rel 1.3) , but still I can't see
the Users tab?
