I'm not sure if this one is still up to date, but it is at least a good starting point:

Take also a look into this tAlfresco issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/MNT-2456

It is said to add the file web-extension I have two web-extension C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco and in C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco In which folder should I use – samnaction Mar 05 '14 at 12:05
As said before in some other comments to your questions it's bad practice to just change & overwrite alfresco files ... overwrite bean 'siteService_permissionBootstrap' in a custom context.xml would be a far better approach but you've to understand Spring DI first! to answer your question you should say what low-level permission you would like to use for your roles. web-extension comes into the game to set the correct role labels for Share. finish the basic stuff first. – alfrescian Mar 05 '14 at 13:08

In C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\web-extension create file named custom-slingshot-acme-context.xml and paste the code

<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd'>

<beans>

   <bean id="cloud.custom.resources" class="org.springframework.extensions.surf.util.ResourceBundleBootstrapComponent">

      <property name="resourceBundles">

         <list>

            <value>alfresco.messages.acme</value>

         </list>

      </property>

   </bean>

</beans>

In C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\share\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\messages create acme.properties and paste the code

## Rename Roles

role.SiteManager=Acme Manager

role.SiteCollaborator=Acme Collaborator

role.SiteContributor=Acme Contributor

role.SiteConsumer=Acme Consumer
