Easy enough to convert root from a role to a normal user account that you can login to (if you want to negate the security improvements of Solaris 11).

Thanks,

pam_roles
pam_roles(5) Standards, Environments, and Macros pam_roles(5)
NAME
pam_roles - Solaris Roles account management module
SYNOPSIS
pam_roles.so.1
DESCRIPTION
The pam_roles module implements pam_sm_acct_mgmt(3PAM). It provides functionality to verify that a user is authorized to assume a role. It
also prevents direct logins to a role. The user_attr(4) database is used to determine which users can assume which roles.
The PAM items PAM_USER and PAM_RUSER are used to determine the outcome of this module. PAM_USER represents the new identity being veri-
fied. PAM_RUSER, if set, represents the user asserting a new identity. If PAM_RUSER is not set, the real user ID of the calling service
implies that the user is asserting a new identity. Notice that root can never have roles.
This module is generally stacked above the pam_unix_account(5) module.
The following options are interpreted:
debug Provides syslog(3C) debugging information at the LOG_DEBUG level.
ERRORS
The following values are returned:
PAM_IGNORE If the type of the new user identity (PAM_USER) is "normal". Or, if the type of the new user identity is "role" and
the user asserting the new identity (PAM_RUSER) has the new identity name in its list or roles.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN No account is present for user.
PAM_PERM_DENIED If the type of the new user identity (PAM_USER) is "role" and the user asserting the new identity (PAM_RUSER) does
not have the new identity name in its list of roles.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the pam_roles.so.1 module
Here are sample entries from pam.conf(4) demonstrating the use of the pam_roles.so.1 module:
cron account required pam_unix_account.so.1
#
other account requisite pam_roles.so.1
other account required pam_unix_account.so.1
#
The cron service does not invoke pam_roles.so.1. Delayed jobs are independent of role assumption. All other services verify that roles can-
not directly login. The "su" service (covered by the "other" service entry) verifies that if the new user is a role, the calling user is
authorized for that role.

NOTES
The interfaces in libpam(3LIB) are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multi-threaded application uses its own PAM handle.
This module should never be stacked alone. It never returns PAM_SUCCESS, as it never makes a positive decision.
