I used an external method to give all my users whose usernames begin
with "u" a particular role.

def updateRoles(self):
  """ Update some of the users in acl_users to have the Contributor
role"""
  for u in self.acl_users.getUsers():

    if u.getUserName()[0] == 'u':
      print 'User is', u, 
      print u.roles,
      u.roles.append('Contributor')
      u._p_changed=1
      print 'changed to:', u.roles

This is a *hack* though!
