Christopher,

first look at getRoster() in CMFDefault.MembershipTool

second create a python script called getMembers in portal_skins/custom with
something like::
roster=[]
for member in context.portal_membership.listMembers():
    roster.append( { 'id':member.getUserName()
                            , 'email':member.email
                            , 'property': member.property })
return roster

and make this script proxy (Proxy Tab in Managemetn screen) as Manager, then
call getMembers instead of portal_membership.getRoster()
