That is by design, role transitions to sysadm_r are only permitted from 
staff_r, system_r, and unconfined_r.

Then staff_r may be a better choice for your logins.

Of course there's nothing stopping you from using a ssh client in user_r to 
connect to a staff_r session (or sysadm_r if you set a boolean to allow 
sysadm_r ssh logins).
