Comment(by ldr):

 I agree that labels in the user/group administration should match those of
 the sharing tab, but the names need to be translatable.

 names rather than just the "verb-y" role names ("Can edit", etc)

 > Seeing just those verb names confuses all the integrators who are
 struggling to understand the difference between roles and permissions, and
 makes it hard to loop back to the user/group administration, where they
 assign roles by names (and everywhere else that integrators see role
 names).

 edit)".

 step backward in people understanding roles/permissions.
