I'm going to be the counter opinion here, but I don't really see a benefit in the case-sensitivity from a user perspective… Will a user ever want a scenario where they have/can have an "Admin" and an "admin" role (and maybe even an "adMIN" role)?
I could certainly be missing a lot of context here, but I tend to think of role names a human identifiers, and case sensitive human groups doesn't seem to serve much human purpose here where "Admin" and "admin" are not the same role...
