Could not find object on role create

[conor-f]

When trying to create a role and assign default properties, the response is: splunklib.binding.HTTPError: HTTP 404 Not Found -- Could not find object id=XXXXXXXX

However, the role appears to have been created correctly.

To Reproduce

>>> import splunklib.client as client
>>> service = client.connect(host="XXXXXXXX", port=8089, username="XXXXXXXX", password="XXXXXXXX", token=None, app="search")
>>> service.roles.create("bugreport-role-name", imported_roles=["XXXXXXXX"], srchIndexesAllowed=["XXXXXXXX"])

splunklib.binding.HTTPError: HTTP 404 Not Found -- Could not find object id=bugreport-role-name

Expected behavior
No error and the Role is returned.

Splunk:

• Version: 8.0.3
• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Deployment: Distributed

SDK:

• Version: 1.6.14
• Language Runtime Version: Python 3.6
• OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Additional context
Pretty sure this also happens when creating users too. And some other resources

@conor-f I would request you to use the latest Python SDK v1.7.2. Please let us know if the issue still exists. Thanks!

Yes, the issue still exists:

Hi @conor-f, we are not able to reproduce the issue. We would request you to try adding a sleep just before the line #3640. Please let us know if this helps.
We think the issue is due to time taken to sync search-heads within the distributed system when a new role is created.

Closing the Issue as we haven't received any response. @conor-f please reopen the Issue if you still facing the issue.
