To enable a non default role use set role command  set role CLERK;  set role all; set role all except CLERK;  If role has a password . set role MANAGER identified by manager;  To disable role use the set role none;  set role none – this will disable are role in current session.

Usage

Demo

Adding password to a role By default roles do not have passwords associated with them. To enable security for a role, use the identified by clause of the alter role command to specify a password. alter role manager identified by manager; Any time the user tries to activate the role, the password will be required. If that role is setup as a default role for the user, then no password is required.
