Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
auth
required
Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
username[required] - The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable.
password[required] - The password of the user. Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable.

token - Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by OVIRT_TOKEN environment variable.
insecure - A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
ca_file - A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If `ca_file` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used. Default value is set by OVIRT_CAFILE environment variable.

aliases: domain
fetch_nested
(added in 2.3)
If True the module will fetch additional data from the API.
It will fetch IDs of the VMs disks, snapshots, etc. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying nested_attributes.
group_name
Name of the group to manage.
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
(added in 2.3)
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 Default:
3
Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
role Default:
UserRole
Name of the role to be assigned to user/group on specific object.
state
    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
Should the permission be present/absent.
timeout Default:
180
The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
user_name
Username of the user to manage. In most LDAPs it's uid of the user, but in Active Directory you must specify UPN of the user.
Note that if user does not exist in the system this module will fail, you should ensure the user exists by using ovirt_users module.

True if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

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=4.2.4

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_permissions:
    user_name: user1
    authz_name: example.com-authz
    object_type: vm
    object_name: myvm
    role: UserVmManager

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

Return Values

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

Key Returned Description
id
str
 On success if permission is found.
ID of the permission which is managed

Sample:
7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
permission
dict
 On success if permission is found.
Dictionary of all the permission attributes. Permission attributes can be found on your oVirt/RHV instance at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/permission.


Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
