Install with pip install ansible==2.9.17
This module provides declarative management of the local usernames configured on Arista EOS devices. It allows playbooks to manage either individual usernames or the collection of usernames in the current running config. It also supports purging usernames from the configuration that are not explicitly defined.
- name: create a new user eos_user: name: ansible sshkey: "{{ lookup('file', '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}" state: present
- name: remove all users except admin eos_user: purge: yes
- name: set multiple users to privilege level 15 eos_user: aggregate: - name: netop - name: netend privilege: 15 state: present
- name: Change Password for User netop eos_user: username: netop configured_password: "{{ new_password }}" update_password: always state: present
name: description: - The username to be configured on the remote Arista EOS device. This argument accepts a stringv value and is mutually exclusive with the C(aggregate) argument. Please note that this option is not same as C(provider username). version_added: '2.4' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin role: description: - Configures the role for the username in the device running configuration. The argument accepts a string value defining the role name. This argument does not check if the role has been configured on the device. purge: default: false description: - Instructs the module to consider the resource definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured usernames on the device with the exception of the `admin` user which cannot be deleted per EOS constraints. type: bool state: choices: - present - absent default: present description: - Configures the state of the username definition as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to I(present), the username(s) should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to I(absent) the username(s) should not be in the device active configuration sshkey: description: - Specifies the SSH public key to configure for the given username. This argument accepts a valid SSH key value. provider: description: - B(Deprecated) - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli).' - 'Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using C(connection: httpapi) for eAPI.' - This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01. - For more information please see the L(EOS Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_eos.html). - HORIZONTALLINE - A dict object containing connection details. suboptions: auth_pass: description: - Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If I(authorize) is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS) will be used instead. type: str authorize: default: false description: - Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE) will be used instead. type: bool host: description: - 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. type: str password: description: - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either I(cli) or I(eapi) transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. type: str port: default: 0 description: - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either I(cli) or I(eapi). - The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task (cli=22, http=80, https=443). type: int ssh_keyfile: description: - Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for I(cli) transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. type: path timeout: description: - 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. type: int transport: choices: - cli - eapi default: cli description: - Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. type: str use_proxy: default: true description: - If C(no), the environment variables C(http_proxy) and C(https_proxy) will be ignored. type: bool use_ssl: default: true description: - Configures the I(transport) to use SSL if set to C(yes) only when the C(transport=eapi). If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. type: bool username: description: - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. type: str validate_certs: default: true description: - If C(no), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. type: bool type: dict aggregate: aliases: - users - collection description: - The set of username objects to be configured on the remote Arista EOS device. The list entries can either be the username or a hash of username and properties. This argument is mutually exclusive with the C(username) argument. version_added: '2.4' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin privilege: description: - The C(privilege) argument configures the privilege level of the user when logged into the system. This argument accepts integer values in the range of 1 to 15. nopassword: description: - Defines the username without assigning a password. This will allow the user to login to the system without being authenticated by a password. type: bool update_password: choices: - on_create - always default: always description: - Since passwords are encrypted in the device running config, this argument will instruct the module when to change the password. When set to C(always), the password will always be updated in the device and when set to C(on_create) the password will be updated only if the username is created. configured_password: description: - The password to be configured on the remote Arista EOS device. The password needs to be provided in clear and it will be encrypted on the device. Please note that this option is not same as C(provider password). version_added: '2.4' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin
commands: description: The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device returned: always sample: - name ansible secret password - name admin secret admin type: list session_name: description: The EOS config session name used to load the configuration returned: when changed is True sample: ansible_1479315771 type: str
