Cognos Analytics

Re: Cognos SDK able to move/copy members of one role into another role and delete roles?

We have three roles: role1, role2, role3 with members from active directory groups. They each have the exact same Cognos permissions. There is another role -  parent_role - that only contains role1, role2, and role3. We are wanting to consolidate role1, role2, and role3 into a single all_role. Want to know if the Cognos SDK can do the following and if anyone sees any issues or shortcuts with what we are planning.?

(1) create all_role with same permissions as either role1, 2 or 3 (1,2, and 3 have identical Cognos permisisons)

(2) copy members from role1, role2, role3 to all_role

(3) insert all_role as member to parent_role

(4) delete role1, role2, role3 from parent_role

(5) delete role1, role2, role3

Anyone comments or help would be appreciated in my question regarding what can the SDK do for roles and if my plan to reassign role members to new roles is sound.
