Hi, there are 2 developers working hard on a new security subsystem (Justin and me) and the REST API is on the TODO list. Unfortunately, you cannot expect these features in the near future. Surely not in 2.1.x series.
As a workaround, I would do the following. Look at GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security. There are three java property files: user.properties, layer.properties and service.properties. The structure is quite simple. You can generate these 3 files instead of making REST requests. Stop geoserver, copy these files in the location mentioned above, restart geoserver, finish.
