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=4.4.0

Examples 

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

# Create administrative role with two permits
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_role:
    name: role
    administrative: true
    permits:
      - manipulate_permissions
      - create_instance

# Remove role
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_role:
    name: role
    state: absent

# Remove all permit
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_role:
    name: role
    administrative: ture
    permits:
      - login

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
ovirt_role list / elements=string	List of dictionaries describing the Roles. Role attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all Roles attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/role. Returned: On success.
