Well, I was talking about functionality, not conceptual equivalence. And
I said nothing about roles themselves. I was thinking more in the area
of auths.

Having said that I'm afraid I can't answer your question. I've done some
googling and I haven't come across anything that actually tells me what
a "sudo role" is. The docs appear to say they are in fact SELinux roles,
but I didn't stumble across anything useful in that area either.
