https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Database%20Products/2347509_1.html
2. In TPAM under the System's "Details | Information" tab; Set the "Extra DB Connection String:" value on the Oracle 12C R2 or 19 system to be:
dba privilege=SYSDBA
Once both of these settings have been made, all accounts on the Oracle system including the SYS account can be managed.
