Answer 1

You need to add/modify the Role column with your SQL Client, chances are you have not defined a default value to it, and the column is a "Not Null" one meaning you can't insert a row if this column is empty.
Another option is to have something like that with your create function :
$user = User::create([
'login' => $data['login'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
'role' => "User"
]);

If you create users only with role "User" you can add this line when you create user;
protected function create(array $data)
{
$user = User::create([
'login' => $data['login'],
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
'role'=>"User"
]);
$user->assignRole('role');
return $user;
}
Or you can use Observer:
class UserObserver
{
/**
* Handle the "User" created event.
*
* #param User $user
* #return void
*/
public function creating(User $user)
{
if (is_null($user->role)) {
$user->role= "User";
$user->save();
}
}
}

Controller Logic:
$user = User::create([
'login' => $request->login,
'password' => Hash::make($request->password)]);
Model Logic if you want to insert default value
class User extends Model
{
public static function boot()
{
parent::boot();
self::creating(function ($model) {
$model->role='user';
});
}
}
