when an administrator (or other user) is impersonating another user (without admin access), it's helpful to be able to see what their access is (in case you've forgotten during the course of your testing) - having the role as a read only field would be helpful
In cases where a user due to gained experience or training now qualifies for a new role, such as a Team Leader, the user wanted confirmation through the interface of what role they have. Most other fields from the account are provided.
Not sure this requirement is clear, can yrou add more detail and a use case?
