Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
absent_members list / elements=string	The azure ad objects asserted to not be members of the group.
absent_owners list / elements=string	The azure ad objects asserted to not be owners of the group.
ad_user string	Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
api_profile string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of `latest` is appropriate for public clouds; future values will allow use with Azure Stack. Default: `"latest"`
auth_source string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. Can also be set via the `ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE` environment variable. When set to `auto` (the default) the precedence is module parameters -> `env` -> `credential_file` -> `cli`. When set to `env`, the credentials will be read from the environment variables When set to `credential_file`, it will read the profile from `~/.azure/credentials`. When set to `cli`, the credentials will be sources from the Azure CLI profile. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if more than one is present otherwise the default az cli subscription is used. When set to `msi`, the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if the resource is granted access to more than one subscription, otherwise the first subscription is chosen. The `msi` was added in Ansible 2.6. Choices: `"auto"` ← (default) `"cli"` `"credential_file"` `"env"` `"msi"`
cert_validation_mode string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints. By default, all modules will validate the server certificate, but when an HTTPS proxy is in use, or against Azure Stack, it may be necessary to disable this behavior by passing `ignore`. Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CERT_VALIDATION` environment variable. Choices: `"ignore"` `"validate"`
client_id string	Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal or Managed Identity (msi). Can also be set via the `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` environment variable.
cloud_environment string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, `AzureChinaCloud`, `AzureUSGovernment`), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable. Default: `"AzureCloud"`
description string	An optional description for the group.
disable_instance_discovery boolean added in azure.azcollection 2.3.0	Determines whether or not instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate. Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to True, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy. Set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_DISABLE_INSTANCE_DISCOVERY` environment variable. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
display_name string	The display name of the ad group. Can be used with mail_nickname instead of object_id to reference existing group. Required when creating a new ad group.
log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.
mail_nickname string	The mail nickname of the ad group. Can be used with display_name instead of object_id to reference existing group. Required when creating a new ad group.
object_id string	The object id for the ad group. Can be used to reference when updating an existing group. Ignored when attempting to create a group.
password string	Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
present_members list / elements=string	The azure ad objects asserted to be members of the group. This list does not need to be all inclusive. Objects that are members and not on this list remain members.
present_owners list / elements=string	The azure ad objects asserted to be owners of the group. This list does not need to be all inclusive. Objects that are owners and not on this list remain members.
profile string	Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
secret string	Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
state string	Assert the state of the resource group. Use `present` to create or update and `absent` to delete. Choices: `"absent"` `"present"` ← (default)
subscription_id string	Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string	Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
thumbprint string added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	The thumbprint of the private key specified in x509_certificate_path. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. Required if x509_certificate_path is defined.
x509_certificate_path path added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	Path to the X509 certificate used to create the service principal in PEM format. The certificate must be appended to the private key. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.

Notes 

Note

For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with az login.
Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.
To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
