Description Brian Leonard 2008-12-04 10:12:00 UTC
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.
