When you created your new user, you passed the "roles" parameter
as a string. However, it must be a sequence...

The management page you are accessing above uses

    "<some_role> in user.roles"

and this fails, because both "<some_role>" as well as
"user.roles" are strings.

Delete your user, fix your script (to pass a sequence of roles,
not a string) and try again.
