\nPassword:
\nRoles can not login directly<\/p>\n

Login as an administrator account and su to root
\nmelam@sscadb04:~$ su – root
\nPassword:
\nJan 25 13:27:29 sscadb04 su: ‘su root’ succeeded for melam on \/dev\/console
\nOracle Corporation SunOS 5.11 11.0 September 2012<\/p>\n
As you can see in the configuration file root is a role
\nroot@db04:~# cat \/etc\/user_attr
\n#
\n# The system provided entries are stored in different files
\n# under “\/etc\/user_attr.d”. They should not be copied to this file.
\n#
\n# Only local changes should be stored in this file.
\n# This line should be kept in this file or it will be overwritten.
\n#
\nroot::::type=role
\nmelam::::type=normal;lock_after_retries=no;profiles=System Administrator;roles=root<\/p>\n
