Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cmd list / elements=string		List of commands assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all commands will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted commands will not be checked or changed.
cmdcategory string	Choices: all	Command category the rule applies to.
cmdgroup list / elements=string added in 2.0.0 of community.general		List of command groups assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all command groups will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted command groups will not be checked or changed.
cn string / required		Canonical name. Can not be changed as it is the unique identifier. aliases: name
description string		Description of the sudo rule.
host list / elements=string		List of hosts assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all hosts will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted hosts will not be checked or changed. Option `hostcategory` must be omitted to assign hosts.
hostcategory string	Choices: all	Host category the rule applies to. If 'all' is passed one must omit `host` and `hostgroup`. Option `host` and `hostgroup` must be omitted to assign 'all'.
hostgroup list / elements=string		List of host groups assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all host groups will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted host groups will not be checked or changed. Option `hostcategory` must be omitted to assign host groups.
ipa_host string	Default: "ipa.example.com"	IP or hostname of IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_HOST` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_HOST` and the value are not specified in the task, then DNS will be used to try to discover the FreeIPA server. The relevant entry needed in FreeIPA is the 'ipa-ca' entry. If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment `IPA_HOST`, nor the value are available in the task, then the default value will be used. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_pass string		Password of administrative user. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PASS` will be used instead. Note that if the 'urllib_gssapi' library is available, it is possible to use GSSAPI to authenticate to FreeIPA. If the environment variable `KRB5CCNAME` is available, the module will use this kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server. If the environment variable `KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME` is available, and `KRB5CCNAME` is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate. If GSSAPI is not available, the usage of 'ipa_pass' is required. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_port integer	Default: 443	Port of FreeIPA / IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PORT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PORT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_prot string	Choices: http https ←	Protocol used by IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PROT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PROT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_timeout integer	Default: 10	Specifies idle timeout (in seconds) for the connection. For bulk operations, you may want to increase this in order to avoid timeout from IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set.
ipa_user string	Default: "admin"	Administrative account used on IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_USER` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_USER` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
runasextusers list / elements=string added in 2.3.0 of community.general		List of external RunAs users
runasgroupcategory string	Choices: all	RunAs Group category the rule applies to.
runasusercategory string	Choices: all	RunAs User category the rule applies to.
state string	Choices: absent disabled enabled present ←	State to ensure.
sudoopt list / elements=string		List of options to add to the sudo rule.
user list / elements=string		List of users assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all users will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted users will not be checked or changed.
usercategory string	Choices: all	User category the rule applies to.
usergroup list / elements=string		List of user groups assigned to the rule. If an empty list is passed all user groups will be removed from the rule. If option is omitted user groups will not be checked or changed.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	This only applies if `ipa_prot` is https. If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
