[Building Sakai] LTI roles in portfolio sites

[Charles Severance]

Matt is wight - we expect the latest LTI to be part of 2.9.2 - the release details are here in terms of going from the LTI shipped in 2.9.0 to the LTI that we expect will ship in 2.9.2

If you grabbed this (you could even take the rc01 tag) and worked with it - comments would be very welcome and much appreciated.
