Activity not found error

Description of problem:

Sometimes customers need change the "admin" and "analyst" roles names because of naming norms. Customizing built-in permissions and roles is possible by editing "jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/web.xml" and "jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/workbench-policy.properties" files. However, when trying to access the administration, we get "Activity not found" message in a dialog box. It is because of role "admin" text is hardcoded into AdministrationPerspective [1].

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

BxMS 6.x

How reproducible:

When you create a new role say "superuser" with all privileges and setup exactly as we have for default "admin" role in descriptor file, all features are displayed  as directed on workbench-policy.properties file in home page. However, when trying to access the administration, we get "Activity not found" message in a dialog box.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Adding a new role "superuser" for a user in "jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/configuration/configuration/application-roles.properties". This role should be equivalent to "admin".

2. Adding the new role "superuser" in the different section of "jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/web.xml" file:

3. Modifying the property "roles.wb_everything" value changing to the new role "superuser" in the different section of "jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deployments/business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/workbench-policy.properties" file:

~~~
#roles.wb_everything=admin
roles.wb_everything=superuser
~~~

4. Start application.

5. Login to business-central with the user/password which has the new admin role ("superuser").

6. Go to Authoring/Administration.

Actual results:

When you go to Authoring/Administration, you get an error Activity not found.   

Expected results:

Going to Authoring/Administration without error with the new admin role.
