  After creating the user you must assign it some role. you can use the following code for this purpose
  
  Copy Code
  [C#]
  // Set up the CRM Service.
  CrmAuthenticationToken token = new CrmAuthenticationToken();
  // You can use enums.cs from the SDK\Helpers folder to get the enumeration for Active Directory authentication.
  token.AuthenticationType = 0;
  token.OrganizationName = "AdventureWorksCycle";
   
  CrmService service = new CrmService();
  service.Url = "http://<servername>:<port>/mscrmservices/2007/crmservice.asmx";
  service.CrmAuthenticationTokenValue = token;
  service.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

  // Create the request object.
  AssignUserRolesRoleRequest assign = new AssignUserRolesRoleRequest();

  // Set the properties of the request object.
  assign.UserId = user.UserId;
  // Set the ID of a role that is in the same business unit as the user.
  assign.RoleIds = new Guid[] {"B050F053-6968-DC11-BB3A-0003FFBAD37A"};

  // Execute the request.
  AssignUserRolesRoleResponse assigned = (AssignUserRolesRoleResponse) service.Execute(assign);
  
  The detailed code is here for assigning roles to a user.

  Thanks so much!  I still had some trouble with the business unit id, so I gave it the executing user's business unit id in that org.  I was also told that I should try to give it all the fields that are required if you do it through forms, so I included some more email info, etc, in between the user instantiation and service call that you provided.
  
                  // Set business unit id
                  newUser.businessunitid = new Lookup();
                  systemuser me = new systemuser();  //Find my businessunitid and give it to this user.
                  WhoAmIRequest whoami = new WhoAmIRequest();
                  WhoAmIResponse resp = (WhoAmIResponse)service.Execute(whoami);
                  me = (systemuser)service.Retrieve("systemuser", resp.UserId, new AllColumns());
                  newUser.businessunitid = me.businessunitid;
                  newUser.businessunitid.type = CrmSdk.EntityName.businessunit.ToString();
  
                  newUser.setupuser = new CrmSdk.CrmBoolean();
                  newUser.setupuser.Value = false;
  
                  newUser.incomingemaildeliverymethod = new Picklist();
                  newUser.incomingemaildeliverymethod.Value = 2;
  
                  newUser.outgoingemaildeliverymethod = new Picklist();
                  newUser.outgoingemaildeliverymethod.Value = 2;
  
  But thanks also for the additional roles info. 
  
  Thanks again,

  Here is the code snippet that worked for me in CRM 2011 to create and assign a Role to the User. Hope this helps.

   

  SystemUser newUser = new SystemUser();
              newUser.DomainName = "domainname\username";
              newUser.FirstName = "James";
              newUser.LastName = "Smith";
              newUser.EmployeeId = "12121212";
              newUser.JobTitle = "Title";
              newUser.NickName = "Jimmy";     

  // Business Unit is mandatory  or you will get an error saving the user      

              Guid bussUnitId = getBusinessUnitGuid(OrgService);// Get the guid for the business Unit for the BusinessUnit Entity
              newUser.BusinessUnitId = new EntityReference();
              newUser.BusinessUnitId.LogicalName = BusinessUnit.EntityLogicalName;
              newUser.BusinessUnitId.Id = bussUnitId;
                     
              try
              {
                  Guid userId = OrgService.Create(newUser);
                 
  
  
                  Guid secRoleId = getSecurityRoleGuid(OrgService); // Get Guid for security Role you want to assign from the ROLE Entity
                 
                  EntityReferenceCollection relatedEntities = new EntityReferenceCollection();
                  relatedEntities.Add(new EntityReference(Role.EntityLogicalName, secRoleId));

  
                  // Create an object that defines the relationship between the SystemUser and Role.
                  Relationship relationship = new Relationship("systemuserroles_association");
                 
                  AssociateRequest req = new AssociateRequest();  // from the library "Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.Messages";
                  req.Target = new EntityReference(SystemUser.EntityLogicalName, userId);
                  req.RelatedEntities = relatedEntities;
                  req.Relationship = relationship;

  
                  //Associate the SystenUser with the Security Role(s).
                  AssociateResponse response = (AssociateResponse)OrgService.Execute(req);
  
                  Console.WriteLine("The entities have been associated.");
  
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine("Exception creating user: " + ex.Message);
                  Console.WriteLine("StackTrace :" + ex.StackTrace);
              }
