In ASP.NET Identity 1.0, you'll have to get this from the DbContext itself...

var context = new ApplicationDbContext();
var allUsers = context.Users.ToList();
var allRoles = context.Roles.ToList();

In ASP.NET Identity 2.0 (currently in Alpha), this functionality is exposed on the UserManager and RoleManager...

userManager.Users.ToList();
roleManager.Roles.ToList();

In both versions, you would be interacting with the RoleManager and UserManager to create roles and assign roles to users.
