Hello,
I run remote commands on servers all the time, though we use sudo.
Sometimes ssh has issues and the commands works better with the -t option, try that.
I hope this helps.

LEARN ABOUT LINUX
roles
roles(1) User Commands roles(1)NAME
roles - print roles granted to a user
SYNOPSIS
roles [ user ...]
DESCRIPTION
The command roles prints on standard output the roles that you or the optionally-specified user have been granted. Roles are special
accounts that correspond to a functional responsibility rather than to an actual person (referred to as a normal user).
Each user may have zero or more roles. Roles have most of the attributes of normal users and are identified like normal users in passwd(4)
and shadow(4). Each role must have an entry in the user_attr(4) file that identifies it as a role. Roles can have their own authorizations
and profiles. See auths(1) and profiles(1).
Roles are not allowed to log into a system as a primary user. Instead, a user must log in as him-- or herself and assume the role. The
actions of a role are attributable to the normal user. When auditing is enabled, the audited events of the role contain the audit ID of the
original user who assumed the role.
A role may not assume itself or any other role. Roles are not hierarchical. However, rights profiles (see prof_attr(4)) are hierarchical
and can be used to achieve the same effect as hierarchical roles.
Roles must have valid passwords and one of the shells that interprets profiles: either pfcsh, pfksh, or pfsh. See pfexec(1).
Role assumption may be performed using su(1M), rlogin(1), or some other service that supports the PAM_RUSER variable. Successful assumption
requires knowledge of the role's password and membership in the role. Role assignments are specified in user_attr(4).
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Sample output
The output of the roles command has the following form:
example% roles tester01 tester02
tester01 : admin
tester02 : secadmin, root
example%
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
