Thanks Stephane Faroult,

I don't udnerstand how Oracle admin roles
I have the impression there is a formula like
#roles*user*xbytes;
To determine the role memory usage.

Or it is only a way to control
the number of roles your database has.
To avoid as you say, have too much and lose the track of them.
