From upstream drupal core issue #1122816-39: Assign shortcut set to role → :
I think the merge solution is not a good one. You can end up with two many links and there is no way to decide the order, the way you do with a menu in Drupal -what it is, in the end, the shortcuts menu.
I think the solution would be having a select element with all the roles a user has and seeing the shortcuts for each role separately. The roles could be ordered by weight or by alphabetical order (perhaps in an environment with many rols the alphabetical is clearer). Of course, the default set of shortcuts would be the ones belonging to the first role in the select element.
This is a valid concern. I think I agree.
We already have a dropdown on each User's Shortcuts tab. So the effort would be fairly low to add a feature that filters the list appropriately to only show shortcut sets that they're allowed to use by role. It might already do this, need to look at the code to verify.

In Drupal 7 we used the Quickbar module for this type of role based navigation and shortcuts. Quickbar allowed the admin to control which toolbar a role would get by using the built-in weights and drag/drop. (screenshot attached)
Being able to control the assignment of shortcuts this way would be helpful.
