I'm working on an application which has user roles such as "admin",
"customer", "contractor"and would like to add localisation to the app.

On my main menu I have:

```

    Users
    Roles
    Tenants
    
```

and the default `ja-JP` file provides these values:

```

    ユーザ
    テナント
    
```

What would be the corrent title for the `Roles` section here?

Can I just use `ロールー`, or should it be something like `役目{やくめ}`?

More broadly, is there some resource with common translations for this type of
situation?

Correct translation for application user roles
Can I assume the main users of your app are IT workers? If this is an admin
panel for something like RDB, VCS or headleass CMS, **ロール** is the go-to
translation (don't elongate ル). Using a non-katakana word might even confuse
users. For example see
[this](https://zenlogic.jp/support/knowledge/phppgadmin/user_data.html). As an
alternative, WordPress [seems to use
**権限グループ**](https://wpdocs.osdn.jp/%E3%83%A6%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BC%E3%81%AE%E7%A8%AE%E9%A1%9E%E3%81%A8%E6%A8%A9%E9%99%90#.E8.AA.AC.E6.98.8E)
(literally "privilege group") as the translation of _Role_. I'm not sure this
is a good translation, though. If your app is targeted at unskilled laypeople,
役割 may be another possibility.
