Greetings igalvarez,
I was not debating on your usage which makes sense, you are not in the same case as the Thread owner who has no history and knowlege about RBAC implementation and what it assumes, the same goes for quotas - its seems easy to use... I am happy I got rid of the last server that had quotas

All the best

        secflags=FSF_EPS

In red you can see it belongs to authorizations 'aix.system.boot'
So, if you go to AIX roles

lsrole -f ALL

this authorization is part of role 'SysBoot'

I think you need to add the role 'SysBoot' to your root2 user

Hope this helps.
I already did, but it didn't work. I'm working with aix 6.1

Code:
  root2@test01> lsuser -a roles root2
  root2 roles=AccountAdmin,so,FSAdmin,sa,BackupRestore,DomainAdmin,SecPolicy,SysBoot,SysConfig,isso,testrole
  root2@test01> swrole SysBoot
  root2's Password: 
  root2@test01> bootlist -m normal -o
  root2@test01> swrole testrole
  root2's Password: 
  root2@test01> bootlist -m normal -o
  hdisk0 blv=hd5 pathid=0
  hdisk5 blv=hd5 pathid=0
