OEM Grid: OEM_ADVISOR Role

Question

Hello,
I am trying to run SQL tuning advisor in the OEM grid, and encountered the following error in the OEM grid:
...You have insufficient privileges to run advisors. You must have OEM_ADVISOR role in order to do so....
I have grant OEM_ADVISOR role to the users system and DBSNMP in both the OEM db (oem_rep) and the client db, but still encountered the issue.
SQL>  select GRANTEE, GRANTED_ROLE from dba_role_privs where GRANTEE in ('DBSNMP','SYSTEM')
  2  and GRANTED_ROLE like 'OEM%';
GRANTEE                        GRANTED_ROLE
SYSTEM                         OEM_ADVISOR
DBSNMP                         OEM_ADVISOR
DBSNMP                         OEM_MONITORWhat did I miss? Can someone advice?
Thanks!

ok,
I don't understand why when you log in as SYSTEM , it is then displaying you logged in as DBSNMP. Can we check why this is ? Can you try and login as SYS , you must connect as SYSDBA of course. Then see if it works ? We can also see on EM the Administrators who have been set up.
If you click on the Setup option at the top of the Home Page of EM , then follow these instructions from Oracle (of course there is no need to create the user account SYSTEM - I hope :)
To grant management access to other database users, use the following procedure:
Start your Web browser and log in to the Database Control as the SYS or SYSTEM database user.
Click Setup at the top of the Database Home page.
Click Administrators in the left navigation bar.
If you need to create a new administrator, you must first create the user and then assign administrative privileges as described in this section. To create a new user, see "Administering Database Users"
Click Create to create a new Enterprise Manager user by assigning the management privileges to an existing database user.
Click the flashlight icon next to the Name field and select an existing database user from the pop-up window.
Enter the password for the selected user and click Finish.
Enterprise Manager assigns the management privileges to the selected user. The selected database user is now included in the list of management users on the Setup Administrators page. All the users shown on this page can log in to the Database Control and perform database management tasks.
