I need to be able to add and remove users from a role in code. I found how to detect if a user is in a role using this code:

 if (CSContext.Current.User.RoleKey.IndexOf("Newsletter") != -1)
{
    // member
}
else
{
    // non member
}

I need to allow users to opt in or out of the role so as to populate the Newsletter group/role.

I have been looking for quite some time and can't find any samples of this code.

This is what I used, for when a user selects an access level... You could do something along similar lines. I manually created the roles through the Control Panel.

CSContext csContext = CSControlUtility.Instance().GetCurrentCSContext(this.Page);

CommunityServer.Components.Roles.AddUserToRole(csContext.User.Username, this.DirectoryLevelsRadioButtonList.SelectedValue);

In addition to what TechLinks said above, To check if a user is in a role

User user; // populate this user

if (user.IsInRole(new string[]{"YOUR ROLE"}))
{
  //Is in Role
}
else
{
  //Is not in role
}
