An enum is still a primitive type, in particular an integer. Just as your User class can't have an ICollection that maps to something in the database, it can't have a collection of the enum.

    public int Id {get; set;}
    public Roles Role {get; set;}
}

And change the name of the enum into Roles (or anything but Role).
