| ca_file string |  | 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.
| headers dictionary |  | Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
| hostname string |  | A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`. Default value is set by `OVIRT_HOSTNAME` environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required.
| insecure boolean | Choices: no yes | A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.

| username string / required |  | The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by `OVIRT_USERNAME` environment variable.
authz_name - / required |  | Authorization provider of the group. In previous versions of oVirt/RHV known as domain. aliases: domain

nested_attributes list |  | Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
poll_interval integer | Default: 3 | Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.
state - | Choices: present ← absent | Should the group be present/absent.
timeout integer | Default: 180 | The amount of time in seconds the module should wait for the instance to get into desired state.
wait boolean | Choices: no yes ← | `yes` 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=4.3.0

## Examples

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

    # Add group group1 from authorization provider example.com-authz
    - ovirt_group:
        name: group1
        domain: example.com-authz

    # Add group group1 from authorization provider example.com-authz
    # In case of multi-domain Active Directory setup, you should pass
    # also namespace, so it adds correct group:
    - ovirt_group:
        name: group1
        namespace: dc=ad2,dc=example,dc=com
        domain: example.com-authz

    # Remove group group1 with authorization provider example.com-authz
    - ovirt_group:
        state: absent
        name: group1
        domain: example.com-authz

## Return Values

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

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
group dictionary | On success if group is found. | Dictionary of all the group attributes. Group attributes can be found on your oVirt/RHV instance at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/group.
id string | On success if group is found. | ID of the group which is managed Sample: 7de90f31-222c-436c-a1ca-7e655bd5b60c
