This error indicates that the name you are trying to use for an actor (a user or a role that can perform actions in a workflow) is already in use within the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Actor Name: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create or modify an actor with a name that already exists in the system.
