I'm actually wondering if we need to define many default roles in the
upstream project. I'm thinking that every organization will have
different needs and different ways of role delegation anyway, so I
would rather make sure this feature is well documented with examples
and use cases.

I think that a reasonble set of 3 -5 roles and documentation how to
change them should be sufficient.
I agree. On top of what Dmitri has already sent out, this thread is a
really good continuation of documenting delegation, permissions, roles,
etc., especially because this area is so different from v1. If we look
at it from two perspectives, one being What does IPA need to function?,
and the other being What do customers need?, then we can probably come
up with a short list and provide some basic use cases, descriptions, and
examples.
Dmitri's list of 5 is good, although I would suggest settling on a
naming format, by which I mean rather than a combination of person-based
and role-based names, use a consistent format. Security Architect & IPA
Administrator are people (faiap), while Helpdesk is a department.
Anyway, you get the idea.
We've already started with Name, Description, Goals; with a few use
cases I can put together short sections with links to existing docs on
how to use the relevant commands, or write them as needed.
cheers
