This is a code fragment from my modified roster method, which lists (among 
some other attributes) the role(s) a user has:


<dtml-let roster="portal_membership.getRoster()"
          userMgr="portal_membership.checkPermission( 'Manage_users', Members 
)"

<dtml-in roster mapping size=bs orphan=1 start=qs>
 <dtml-let homeUrl="portal_membership.getHomeUrl(id, verifyPermission=1)"
           fullName="portal_membership.getFullName(id)"
           member="portal_membership.getMemberById(id)"
           email="member.email">
 <tr>
  <td>
    <dtml-if email>
      <a href="mailto://&dtml-email;">&dtml-id; (&dtml-fullName;)</a>
     <dtml-else>
      &dtml-id;(&dtml-fullName;)
    </dtml-if>
  </td>
 <dtml-if userMgr>
  <td>
    <dtml-if homeUrl>
      <a href="&dtml-homeUrl;">home</a>
    </dtml-if>
  </td>
  <td>
   <dtml-var "_.string.join( portal_membership.getRoles(id), ',' )">
   </td>
  <td>
    <dtml-var "member.nrLogins">
   </td>
  <td>
    <dtml-try>
     <dtml-var "member.login_time" fmt="ISO"> 
    <dtml-except TypeError>
      N/A
    </dtml-try>
   </td>
 </dtml-if>
 </tr>
 </dtml-let>
</dtml-in>

The most interresting bit (for you) is:
<dtml-var "_.string.join( portal_membership.getRoles(id), ',' )">

you can get id from the creator or owner attribute.
