I think you can create your own PermisionGroup.

Add in your projet your xml file definition :

main\amp\config\alfresco\module\mymodule\bootstrap\custom-sitePermissionDefinitions.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE permissions >
<!-- Custom permissions-->
<permissions>
    <!-- Namespaces used in type references -->
   <namespaces>
      <namespace uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/system/1.0" prefix="sys"/>
      <namespace uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0" prefix="cm"/>
      <namespace uri="http://www.alfresco.org/model/site/1.0" prefix="st"/>
  </namespaces>

   <permissionSet type="st:site" expose="selected">
    <!-- Keep the existing -->
   <permissionGroup name="SiteManager" allowFullControl="true" expose="true" />

   <permissionGroup name="SiteCollaborator" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
      <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Collaborator" type="cm:cmobject" />
   </permissionGroup>

   <permissionGroup name="SiteContributor" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
      <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Contributor" type="cm:cmobject" />
   </permissionGroup>

    <permissionGroup name="SiteConsumer" allowFullControl="false" expose="true">
         <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Consumer" type="cm:cmobject" />
         <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="ReadPermissions" type="sys:base" />
    </permissionGroup>

  <!-- Custom role based on the contributor one            -->
  <permissionGroup name="MyCustomRole" allowFullControl="false" expose="true" >
      <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="Consumer" type="cm:cmobject"/>
       <!-- remove the permission to add a children
      <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="AddChildren" type="sys:base"/>
      -->
      <includePermissionGroup permissionGroup="ReadPermissions" type="sys:base" />
  </permissionGroup>

Don't forget to declare it in your context file (module-context.xml) :

<!-- Registration of myproject ROLES -->
<bean id="myproject_permissionBootstrapSite" parent="permissionModelBootstrap">
  <property name="model" value="alfresco/module/${project.artifactId}/bootstrap/custom-sitePermissionDefinitions.xml"/>
</bean>
