Inputs

    
name:
    description:
    - The C(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 C(aggregate) argument.

role:
    choices:
    - operator
    - read-only
    - super-user
    - unauthorized
    description:
    - The C(role) argument defines the role of the user account on the remote system.  User
      accounts can have more than one role configured.

purge:
    default: 'no'
    description:
    - The C(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.
    type: bool

state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    default: present
    description:
    - The C(state) argument configures the state of the user definitions as it relates
      to the device operational configuration.  When set to I(present), the user should
      be configured in the device active configuration and when set to I(absent) the user
      should not be in the device active configuration

active:
    default: 'yes'
    description:
    - Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
    type: bool
    version_added: '2.4'
    version_added_collection: ansible.builtin

sshkey:
    description:
    - The C(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

provider:
    description:
    - B(Deprecated)
    - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli) or C(connection:

        type: str
      password:
        description:

          in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will
          be used instead.
        type: str
      port:
        description:
        - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.  The
