To change information in the Solaris Management Console GUI requires
administrative capabilities. A role gives you administrative capabilities.
If you want to view information, you must have the solaris.admin.usermgr.read
authorization. The Basic Solaris User rights profile includes
this authorization.
An administrative role that can change the properties of users or roles must have already been assigned to you. For example, the Primary Administrator role can change the properties of users or roles.
