Are you confusing global roles as stored on a user/member with local 
roles, as stored on an object in the ZODB?

The API document isn't too confusing, I think:

     def setLocalRoles(obj, member_ids, member_role, reindex=1):
         """ Add local roles on an item.

         Permission -- Always available
         """

You pass in the object (folder, content object, etc) you want to set 
local roles on, a sequence of member IDs, and the role name.
