From a user experience standpoint, you're fine here. If everything else is in "<object> user" format, those should be too, unless there's a technical reason (which would be more than a little weird).

I think it's a bit odd, overall, to have the "user" suffix appended to every role name -- isn't it apparent in the UI which user you're connecting with which role, or must there be redundancy?
