SPRole.Update Method
NOTE: This API is now obsolete.
Use the new SPRoleDefinition and SPRoleAssignment classes instead, to define roles and to assign users to them. For more information, see Authorization Object Model. (In Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, the Update method updated the database with changes made to the role and is maintained for backward compatibility.)
