            Note:
                If you pass a csv or xml string, you should use the
                `import format` parameter appropriately.
        return_format_type:
            Response format. By default, response will be json-decoded.
        import_format:
            Format of incoming data. By default, to_import will be json-encoded

    Returns:
        Union[int, str]: Number of user roles added or updated

    Examples:
        >>> roles = proj.export_user_roles()
        >>> proj.import_user_roles(roles)
        1
