How to extra a string section from XML string

I have a string variable that returns this:

HTML

<pre><role name="olvers" guid="ee81e26aeb7cd" description="Used at" isdynamic="false">
<extradata>
</extradata>
<include>
 <users>
   <user name="Q:www\sitename1" />
   <user name="Q:www\sitename2" />
   <user name="Q:"www\sitename3" />
 </users>
<groups />
<smartobjects />
</include>
<exclude>
<users />
<groups />
<smartobjects />
</exclude>
</role>

I want to be able to extract the name attribute from each user element and store it in a list. In this case, I'd want the list to contain the following values:

Q:www\sitename1
Q:www\sitename2
Q:www\sitename3

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. How can I extract these values and store them in a list?

What I have tried:

XElement documentRoot = XElement.Load(getUserRoles);


XmlNodeList nodes = 
            root.SelectNodes("/role/extradata/include/users");
foreach (XmlElement node in nodes)
{
    log.Info("User in role : " + node.Value);
}

Shouldn't that select be "/role/include/users" ... include is not a sub-node of extradata

Note that I changed a few things, not just the path.

XmlDocument documentRoot = new XmlDocument();
documentRoot.LoadXml(getUserRoles);

XmlNodeList nodes = documentRoot.SelectNodes("/role/include/users/user");
foreach (XmlElement node in nodes)
{
    log.Info("User in role : " + node.Attributes["name"].Value);
}
