[AG-DEV] Problems with AddRole

[Susanne Lefvert]

Hello Mike,

The 2.4 API for the Role class lists the Role init call as
Role.__init__("role_name", subjects)

Looks like your second argument for Role (participant.GetSubject()) is not
a list of subjects. Try SomeUsersrole = Role('SomeUsers', [participant])
instead.
