According to my /etc/user_attr file I have both the Primary Administrator profile and the root role (are these not redundant?): bleonard@opensolaris:/etc/security$ grep "bleonard" /etc/user_attr bleonard::::profiles=Primary Administrator;roles=root However, looking at the Settings for User bleonard dialog, the User roles tab shows "root" selected. However, the User profiles tab does not have "Primary Administrator" selected. They also seem to be mutually exclusive, such that if I select "Primary Administrator , I loose the "root" role: bleonard@opensolaris:/etc/security$ grep "bleonard" /etc/user_attr bleonard::::type=normal;profiles=Primary Administrator Which I'm OK with, assuming these settings are redundant.
Sorry, I now realize they are not redundant. This appears to be a bug in the UI, as the profile and role selections should not be mutually exclusive.
Tested in OSOL 2009.06, the default user shows both the "Primary Administrator" profile and the root role. Trying to assign both to a existing user, also works.
