The loop has to be outside the dtml-calls, and you can refer to the
individual items with sequence-item, or in the case below, with
'user_item' (I prefer to use prefixes with my dtml-in tags because I
think it makes the code more readable and easier to integrate with
python calls)

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2>
<dtml-in "('abc', 'pdq', 'someuser')" prefix=user>
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', user_item)">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password','change')">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('confirm','change')">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('domains',[])">
  <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles',['noRole'])">
  <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users('Add',REQUEST,RESPONSE)">
  The user <dtml-var user_item> has been added.
</dtml-in>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

Hope this helps,
