Like it says, you're not a member of role user1.  Since you have
createrole privilege, you could make yourself a member:

regression=> grant user1 to root;
GRANT ROLE

and then it'd work.  But you didn't.  (This is one of the ways that
createrole is less powerful, and less dangerous, than superuser.)
