['Role1','Role2','Role3','Role4']

would be

 List<string>

What you have with

{'Roles':['Role1','Role2','Role3','Role4']}

is

 Dictionary<string, List<string>>

You are leaving out the top-level node which contains the array. That JSON could actually represent an object Foo with one property Roles that could be a List of string.
