We should think this through.

If the permissions for 'Power user' changes the test program(s) at net.sf.basedb.test.roles also need to change, since it assumes that a 'Power user' is able to import reporters. The test that import reporters need to be moved from PowerUserTest.java to the 'Administrator' part of the test program (AdminTest.java).

After deep consideration we have decided to remove the create and update reporters privileges from the Poweruser role.

What is the reason for the change?
When the roles were specified the 'Administrator' role was intended for stuff related to user-account management (users, groups, quota, etc). The 'Power user' was intended as a biological administrator (Array LIMS, annotation types, reporters, etc). The ability to add reporters is needed to be able to create things in the Array LIMS part.
The power user also has plugin admin rights. We discussed splitting this into another role but never came to a decision.
