On Oracle Solaris 11, to perform installation, you need to create root user. This means that a local user cannot assume the root role. After installation, you may want to turn root user into root role for a local user, who can log in as root.
Log in as root user.
Change the root account into role:
# rolemod -K type=role root # getent user_attr root
root::::type=role;auths=solaris.*;profiles=All;audit_flags=lo\ :no;lock_after_retries=no;min_label=admin_low;clearance=admin_high
Assign the root role to a local user who was unassigned the role:
# usermod -R root admin
