+Feature: change role
+  As an admin
+  I want to change the role of user
+  So that I can manage the role of user
+
+  Background:
+    Given user "Alice" has been created with default attributes and without skeleton files
+
+
+  Scenario Outline: admin user changes the role of another user with different roles
+    Given user "Brian" has been created with default attributes and without skeleton files
+    And the administrator has assigned the role "Admin" to user "Alice" using the Graph API
+    And the administrator has assigned the role "<userRole>" to user "Brian" using the Graph API
+    When user "Alice" changes the role of user "Brian" to role "<newRole>" using the Graph API
+    Then the HTTP status code should be "201"
+    And user "Brian" should have the role "<newRole>"
+    Examples:
+      | userRole    | newRole     |
+      | Admin       | Admin       |
+      | Admin       | Space Admin |
+      | Admin       | User        |
+      | Admin       | Guest       |
+      | Space Admin | Admin       |
+      | Space Admin | Space Admin |
+      | Space Admin | User        |
+      | Space Admin | Guest       |
+      | User        | Admin       |
+      | User        | Space Admin |
+      | User        | User        |
+      | User        | Guest       |
+      | Guest       | Admin       |
+      | Guest       | Space Admin |
+      | Guest       | User        |
+      | Guest       | Guest       |
+
+
+  Scenario Outline: admin user tries to change his/her own role
+    Given the administrator has assigned the role "Admin" to user "Alice" using the Graph API
+    When user "Alice" tries to change the role of user "Alice" to role "<newRole>" using the Graph API
+    Then the HTTP status code should be "403"
+    And user "Alice" should have the role "Admin"
+    Examples:
+      | newRole     |
+      | Space Admin |
+      | User        |
+      | Guest       |
+      | Admin       |
