I use the following:

<dtml-with acl_users>
<form action=<dtml-var URL0> METHOD="get">
<table cellspacing=0 border>
<dtml-in getUsers>
<tr><th>User Name</th><th>User Level</th><th>Password</th><th>Delete</th></tr>
<tr>
<td><dtml-var name></td>
<dtml-let theuser=sequence-item><td><select name="theroles:list">
<dtml-in "['none','restricted','readonly','update','system']">
<option value="<dtml-var sequence-item>" 
<dtml-if expr="_['sequence-item'] in
theuser.roles">SELECTED</dtml-if>>
<dtml-var sequence-item>
</dtml-in></select></td></dtml-let> <td><input type=password
name="thepass:list" value=<dtml-var "getPass(_['sequence-item'])">></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="delete:list" value=<dtml-var name>></td> </tr>
</dtml-in>
</table>
<input name=SUBMIT type="SUBMIT" value="Go">
</dtml-with>

This does a little moore than you are looking for, and there is more to this
form, but you get the idea? Only took me 3 days to guess it myself ;) Hope it
helps (and hope I've cut it out correctly, should work)
This trick is to acquire the acl_users from your parent folder, they you are
getting it's user list (NOT the base one, which you need to get
differently unless you are in the base directory)
