Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cn - / required		Role name. Can not be changed as it is the unique identifier. aliases: name
description -		A description of this role-group.
group -		List of group names assign to this role. If an empty list is passed all assigned groups will be unassigned from the role. If option is omitted groups will not be checked or changed. If option is passed all assigned groups that are not passed will be unassigned from the role.
host -		List of host names to assign. If an empty list is passed all assigned hosts will be unassigned from the role. If option is omitted hosts will not be checked or changed. If option is passed all assigned hosts that are not passed will be unassigned from the role.
hostgroup -		List of host group names to assign. If an empty list is passed all assigned host groups will be removed from the role. If option is omitted host groups will not be checked or changed. If option is passed all assigned hostgroups that are not passed will be unassigned from the role.
ipa_host string	Default: "ipa.example.com"	IP or hostname of IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_HOST` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_HOST` and the value are not specified in the task, then DNS will be used to try to discover the FreeIPA server. The relevant entry needed in FreeIPA is the 'ipa-ca' entry. If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment `IPA_HOST`, nor the value are available in the task, then the default value will be used. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_pass string / required		Password of administrative user. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PASS` will be used instead. Note that if the 'urllib_gssapi' library is available, it is possible to use GSSAPI to authenticate to FreeIPA. If the environment variable `KRB5CCNAME` is available, the module will use this kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server. If the environment variable `KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME` is available, and `KRB5CCNAME` is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate. If GSSAPI is not available, the usage of 'ipa_pass' is required. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_port integer	Default: 443	Port of FreeIPA / IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PORT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PORT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_prot string	Choices: http https ←	Protocol used by IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PROT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PROT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_timeout integer added in 2.7	Default: 10	Specifies idle timeout (in seconds) for the connection. For bulk operations, you may want to increase this in order to avoid timeout from IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set.
ipa_user string	Default: "admin"	Administrative account used on IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_USER` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_USER` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
privilege - added in 2.4		List of privileges granted to the role. If an empty list is passed all assigned privileges will be removed. If option is omitted privileges will not be checked or changed. If option is passed all assigned privileges that are not passed will be removed.
service -		List of service names to assign. If an empty list is passed all assigned services will be removed from the role. If option is omitted services will not be checked or changed. If option is passed all assigned services that are not passed will be removed from the role.
state -	Choices: present ← absent	State to ensure
user -		List of user names to assign. If an empty list is passed all assigned users will be removed from the role. If option is omitted users will not be checked or changed.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	This only applies if `ipa_prot` is https. If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
