Wouldn't it be possible to reuse the perspective concept as it is used in Eclipse? A perspective is a set of views/editors/actions/menu items that is configurable. A user can always change it, but there is a fixed default. Users can also define their own perspectives. The target roles would then all have one particular perspective.
