Synopsis 

This module manages locally configured user accounts on remote network devices running the JUNOS operating system. It provides a set of arguments for creating, removing and updating locally defined accounts

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements 

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: no yes ← (default)
aggregate aliases: users, collection list / elements=dictionary	The `aggregate` argument defines a list of users to be configured on the remote device. The list of users will be compared against the current users and only changes will be added or removed from the device configuration. This argument is mutually exclusive with the name argument.
active boolean	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated Choices: no yes
encrypted_password string	The `encrypted_password` argument set already hashed password for the user account on the remote system.
full_name string	The `full_name` argument provides the full name of the user account to be created on the remote device. This argument accepts any text string value.
name string / required	The `name` argument defines the username of the user to be created on the system. This argument must follow appropriate usernaming conventions for the target device running JUNOS. This argument is mutually exclusive with the `aggregate` argument.
purge boolean	The `purge` argument instructs the module to consider the users definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured users on the device with the exception of the current defined set of aggregate. Choices: no ← (default) yes
role string	The `role` argument defines the role of the user account on the remote system. User accounts can have more than one role configured. Choices: operator read-only super-user unauthorized
sshkey string	The `sshkey` argument defines the public SSH key to be configured for the user account on the remote system. This argument must be a valid SSH key
state string	The `state` argument configures the state of the user definitions as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the user should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the user should not be in the device active configuration Choices: present absent
encrypted_password string	The `encrypted_password` argument set already hashed password for the user account on the remote system.
full_name string	The `full_name` argument provides the full name of the user account to be created on the remote device. This argument accepts any text string value.
name string	The `name` argument defines the username of the user to be created on the system. This argument must follow appropriate usernaming conventions for the target device running JUNOS. This argument is mutually exclusive with the `aggregate` argument.
provider dictionary	Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` or `connection: netconf`. For more information please see the Junos OS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
host string	Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
password string	Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
port integer	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for `transport=cli`) or port 830 (for `transport=netconf`) device.
ssh_keyfile path	Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
timeout integer	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
transport string	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: cli netconf ← (default)
username string	Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
purge boolean	The `purge` argument instructs the module to consider the users definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured users on the device with the exception of the current defined set of aggregate. Choices: no ← (default) yes
role string	The `role` argument defines the role of the user account on the remote system. User accounts can have more than one role configured. Choices: operator read-only super-user unauthorized
sshkey string	The `sshkey` argument defines the public SSH key to be configured for the user account on the remote system. This argument must be a valid SSH key
state string	The `state` argument configures the state of the user definitions as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the user should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the user should not be in the device active configuration Choices: present ← (default) absent

Notes 

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
Recommended connection is netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
