Hi!
Some months ago I stumbled upon an interesting module that I cannot find now, either because it or my memory is gone =)
The module's core purpose was easing the work on sites with loads of roles by letting you define roles groups with the same permissions but different role names.
This would allow you to set, alongside with anonymous and authenticated user roles, the following roles:
- intermediary, which would contain the "sub-roles" level 1, level 2, etc, and the;
- advanced, which would contain the level 1, level 2, etc, "subroles".
Each role, intermediary and advanced, has it's own set of permissions that are shared between all "subroles" beneath them.
Does this rings a bell on anyone's head? Have you seen this modules as well?
Thanks in advance for your help! =)

Do you mean
Do you mean http://drupal.org/project/simple_access ?
It does have role groups, but not exactly as you describe. The individual roles can all have different permissions but by assigning a node to a role group you assign it to the whole bunch of roles.
Hi! Thanks for your answer!
Hi! Thanks for your answer! =)
Sadly Simple Access does the opposite of what I need. It let's you group multiple (real existing) roles under a (virtual) group.
How are those identical
How are those identical sub-roles useful? Why can't they be only one role?
Need some way to distinguish
Need some way to distinguish between users although they will share the same permissions.
One idea is to give them
One idea is to give them badges instead of different roles: http://drupal.org/project/user_badges
