Import/Export User Roles

I am having active directory users added to my Navision database.
I need to delete all the users from Navision and add them again.
Is their any way so that i can export, using dataport, the roles assigned to current users, so that i can import them in Navision while the users with same user Ids are added again into the Navision.
This can reduce my overhead to assign roles one by one for all users.

    there is better way:

    Create Group in AD, assign users into this group, add this group into NAV, assign the roles to the group.

    Than you do not need to assign roles to the users, you just add the user into NAV and add it in AD into the group...

    As all the user are having different set of roles, how can i group them? on what basis?
    Grouping them means when i will assign the roles to the group then all the users under a group will have same roles.

    Suppose there are 100 users with all different set of roles then how they can be grouped?
    I wanted to do this from navision end only as i currently assign the roles once user is added into

    if you are using using version 5 & above, there is a way to export those roles using Migration overview.

    Administration->Application Setup->Company Setup->data migration.
