Note that if group does not exist in the system this module will fail, you should ensure the group exists by using ovirt_groups module.
namespace

Namespace of the authorization provider, where user/group resides.
nested_attributes
list
Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API.
This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.
object_id
-
ID of the object where the permissions should be managed.
object_name
-
Name of the object where the permissions should be managed.
object_type
-
    Choices:
  • cluster
  • cpu_profile
  • data_center
  • disk
  • disk_profile
  • host
  • network
  • storage_domain
  • system
  • template
  • vm ←
  • vm_pool
  • vnic_profile
The object where the permissions should be managed.
poll_interval
integer
Default:
3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
quota_name
-

    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
Should the permission be present/absent.

Notes

Note

  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.3.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

- name: Add user user1 from authorization provider example.com-authz
  ovirt_permission:
    user_name: user1
    authz_name: example.com-authz
    object_type: vm
    object_name: myvm
    role: UserVmManager

- name: Remove permission from user
  ovirt_permission:
    state: absent
    user_name: user1
    authz_name: example.com-authz
    object_type: cluster
    object_name: mycluster
    role: ClusterAdmin

- name: Assign QuotaConsumer role to user
  ovirt_permissions:
    state: present
    user_name: user1
    authz_name: example.com-authz
    object_type: data_center
    object_name: mydatacenter
    quota_name: myquota
    role: QuotaConsumer

- name: Assign QuotaConsumer role to group
  ovirt_permissions:
    state: present
    group_name: group1
    authz_name: example.com-authz
    object_type: data_center
    object_name: mydatacenter
    quota_name: myquota
    role: QuotaConsumer
