As far as I can see from the documentation, after_create is invoked only 
*after* the record has been saved to the d/b.  This is quite late in the 
proceedings and too late to have the desired effect.

I want the new user record to appear on screen ready for editing with 
the two default roles already ticked.  That way the operator can choose 
to un-tick them if they're not appropriate.

I could almost do it with before_create, but it would mean things were 
happening behind the scenes which the operator didn't know about - not good.
