If you would like to associate multiple users with the same two roles
in your database, you would have to do it like this:
@user.roles << Role.find_by_name(params[:role_name])
Keep in mind, that this is going to allow the user to have multiple
roles. The #<< method is going to add another role to the collection
of roles, the user already has. The params[:role_name] is simply the
name of the role, you'ld like the user to have, for example "admin".
