Dear Steve,

There isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin, but you can setup a custom select field, and use Types filter hook "wpt_field_options" to populate the options with user names and user IDs, see similar thread here:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/relating-users-to-custom-post-types-to-pull-user-field-info-into-a-view/#post-268551

To the users of specific user role:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users
role__in - Limit the returned users that have one of the specified roles

For your reference.
