Depends what you want to do. Creating someone who would have Assignor 
role is a good idea, also because as you noticed sometimes there are 
things which by default Manager user can not do, like validating stuff. 
If you want to set up one simple role definition, like 
"user-with-role-internal-is-Assignor-no-matter-what" then it is indeed 
pretty simple. It will also let you easily hide modules you don't want 
to use for now. But, you can also play with everything else as zope, or 
create some other Manager users in acl_users at the server level, and 
play with security later.
