in MyApp::Schema::User -

sub insert {
  my $self = shift;
  my $ret = $self->next::method(@_);
  $self->add_to_roles(
    $self->result_source->schema->resultset('Role')
         ->find({ name => 'User' })
  );
  $ret;
}

(assuming you have a 'roles' many-many set up)

The delete should happen automatically.

For more questions, please ask the DBIx::Class list - Catalyst doesn't really
need to get involved with this logic at all.
