A $r$-role assignment of a simple graph $G$ is an assignment of $r$ distinct roles to the vertices of $G$, such that two vertices with the same role have the same set of roles assigned to related vertices. Furthermore, a specific $r$-role assignment defines a role graph, in which the vertices are the distinct $r$ roles, and there is an edge between two roles whenever there are two related vertices in the graph $G$ that correspond to these roles. We consider complementary prisms, which are graphs formed from the disjoint union of the graph with its respective complement, adding the edges of a perfect matching between their corresponding vertices. In this work, we characterize the complementary prisms that do not admit a $3$-role assignment. We highlight that all of them are complementary prisms of disconnected bipartite graphs. Moreover, using our findings, we show that the problem of deciding whether a complementary prism has a $3$-role assignment can be solved in polynomial time.
