Example rolemap.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rolemap>
  <permissions>
    <permission name="Portlets: Manage portlets"
                acquire="True">
      <role name="Manager"/>
      <role name="Site Administrator"/>
      <role name="Editor" />
    </permission>
    <!-- Permission for moving and deleting portlets  -->
    <permission name="Portlets: Manage own portlets"
            acquire="True">
      <role name="Manager"/>
      <role name="Site Administrator"/>
      <role name="Editor" />
    </permission>
    <permission name="Portlets: Manage Events portlet"
                acquire="True">
      <role name="Manager"/>
      <role name="Site Administrator"/>
      <role name="Editor" />
    </permission>
    <permission name="Portlets: Manage Login portlet"
                acquire="True">
      <role name="Manager"/>
      <role name="Site Administrator"/>
    </permission>
    ...
  </permissions>
</rolemap>
