iControl REST is more or less a wrapper for tmsh, so the easiest way to get available values for an option is its command-completion. For example,

root@(ltm1311)(cfg-sync Disconnected)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) create auth user test partition-access replace-all-with { Common  { role [type `TAB` here]
Values:
  admin                 auditor               guest                 manager               operator              user-manager
  application-editor    certificate-manager   irule-manager         no-access             resource-admin

The example above does not show the role related to Acceleration Policy because my box does not have the related modules provisioned.
