There isn't a REST role, you'd have to create it then give permissions to the objects you're allowing them to access. Then assign your REST user to the REST role. Check out the documentation, it states in the Basic Authentication section Once authenticated, the system allows the REST request to perform operations depending on the specified user's privilege level and permissions.

Yes I did misunderstand, thank you for the clarification. There are a few help docs out there although not a lot on posting data for examples.
