Hi Experts,

We are not able to switch to root user from the normal user. We had a user (monitor) with root role, which is currently in locked.

$ roles monitor

root

No other have root role currently. In this scenario, how we can either unlock the user or can we directly login root with other method.

$ roles user1

No roles

$

$ su -

Password:

Roles can only be assumed by authorized users

su: Sorry

Version: 0.5.11 (Oracle Solaris 11.1.8.4.0)

Howdy, Stranger!
