Making WF_Admin a Role

We currently have a single user set up as the Work Flow admin in transaction SWDC. We want any system notifications from workflow to go to more than this one individual. We attempted to set up the WF Admin as a Role but it does not seem to work. Looking for advice on the best way to do this.

This is what we tried.

Created a role called BCQAS:WF_ADMIN.

assigned two people to this role using PFCG.

Changed wf admin to be Role BCQAS:WF_ADMIN using SWDC.

We have an event defined which, when executed, is guarenteed to generate the error "Error in event receiver".

When we set up the WF Admin as a User, only that user recieves workflow system messages.

When we set up the WF admin as a Role, nobody recieves the system message.
