Configure users and Roles in App Controller with Powershell

I had to configure remotely some users and Roles in App controller with Powershell.  You can find a lot of all App Controller CMDLets here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj899760(v=sc.20).aspx.

Below you can find the Powershell Script used to connect remotely to the app controller server and add users to the appropriate User Roles:
