Different source word so it needs to be a separate entry. I'll create one.

Not sure if this needs a separate entry.  I think "roll" is "common", but "role" probably is not.

sankoku:
ロール. role 役。役割。

daijs:

デジタル大辞泉デジタル大辞泉
ロール【role】
読み方:ろーる
役割。役目。任務。「—プレーイングゲーム」

A lot of use seems to be relatively modern coinages. 管理ロール is interesting. I think many of this are computer-system derived:

(Was looking for "role in a company", and while maybe you could use ロール for that, it seems like it would be somewhat odd/uncommon).

I feel like a "this is what you should use instead xref" would be nice, so long as they are synonymous in the first place.  between sankoku and daijs, 役, 役割, 役目 , 任務 are tossed out there. Not sure what, if anything, would be most appropriate. 

[rare] is an attempt to scare people into finding a different Japanese word.  But I'm not so sure "rare" is actually fair though. Maybe too common for that. Hard to count occurrences of ロール = "role" that aren't part of a larger word. (role playing, etc).

Well, I leave it to you.
