Passing Values to RLS

I'm trying to embed a power bi report but filter data using RLS. I have set up some Roles that have corresponding values.

For example I have a Role=Select-User and the DAX is [USER]=Substitute(Username(), "_", " ") where I would then pass a Value along with the Role.

 

However, I am struggling to understand how to pass a Role AND a Value since most examples only show how to pass a Role to the REST Api.

 

FWIW, I am using Django to interface with Power Bi.

Use proper embedding (not just an iframe) in User Owns Data mode.  That's exactly what that is for.
