New user question regarding admin rights

I'm trying to install OpenOffice on Solaris 11 but when I click on the setup icon I get an error message telling me that I need to have admin rights.

I've tried logging on as SU or ROOT but cannot. I don't see how to grant myself admin rights. How is it done ?

I know there are many many beginner's documents but which one would be best for a Linux user migrating to Unix ?

Thanks...
