After meeting with Liz and Michael, we've outlined some improvements to the workflow and UI.

• Better express what Inherit Assignments means
• Create predefined roles that cannot be deleted (i.e.-data curator)to provide users with roles when they don't feel the need to create ones specifically for their dataverses
• Condense the workflow into a simpler, easier to understand view.
• Create popup for the workflow, rather than a separate page.
• Rather than tabs, try expand/collapse panels.
• Make Users table the initial view.
• Take into consideration how Invite Users/Create Groups will work into the workflow.

Committing progress on cleaning up the UI for Roles + Permissions. Moved the entire Roles tab into a collapsable panel under Users. Added a static placeholder for Invite Users/Create Groups.

I couldn't do much clean up to the Create Roles section, due to a lot of backend reformatting that is needed. The Users and Dataverse tabs are still there, because of some backend logic that is tied to them. The "inherit" checkbox from the Dataverse tab needs to be moved over still.

Not sure about the "undeletable roles". We can have auto-generated ones, and have the user remove them if they are not needed.

Back-end stuff done.

We need to add a Cancel button to this page since at the moment there is only a Save Changes button. Also, @michbarsinai asked if this was going to eventually turn into a pop up. Is it? @mheppler @scolapasta

There are is another related "Roles + Permissions UI" issue #88 that has mockups for the UI, so I moved some the info there from this issue, and will close this as a duplicate.
