Looks like a bug in the interface, You can probably hand edit it, to
remove the requirement for xdrawable_type.
I believe there are other unmet
requirements as well. Also, this will be
an issue for the users of Trusted RUBIX. I would rather not request that
they hand edit portions of the non-RUBIX policy. So, if it works
properly, I would rather just use userdom_restricted_user_template (or
should it be userdom_base_user_template?).

These look like a bug in policy. Something in the pam stack is trying
to communicate with dbus and newrole is not allowed this access. What
do the AVC messages look like.
Here are the AVC's I get which seem related to
the newrole usage:

Do you want rubix_dbadm_t to be a full login user or just the domain
to run with when you are root?
Trusted RUBIX implements SELinux within our DBMS
objects and
administrative programs. Similar to SEPostgreSQL
We want it to be a full login user, if possible. Bare minimum is to be
able to open a shell as the rubix_dbadm_t, typically transitioning from
staff_r. Actually, the role has more associated with it than just
rubix_dbadm_t. This role is configured to run administrative programs on
behalf of our DBMS. It is also configured to run DBMS sessions with
special privilege.
I am not sure of the reference to root. But, root is not a factor in
this. In becoming/using our rubix_dbadm_r role (or any of our DBMS
roles, the user should not become nor need to transition through the
linux root user.
If you want to allow full use of a desktop but only allow certain
privs as root, I would use staff_t and then transition through sudo to
rubix_dbadm_t. Setup an SELinux user that logs in as staff_t and has
the staff_r, rubix_dbadm_r and system_r (If he needs to restart services).
It is
more than just restart services. This is a fundamental role within
the Trusted RUBIX RBAC. For instance, we have DBMS Security
Administrator, Audit Administrator, Operator, and User roles. All with
various abilities to run Trusted RUBIX administrative programs and all
with differing privilege with regards to a DBMS session.
Thanks for your help,
Andy
