* Group management
Supported FreeIPA Versions
--------------------------
FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipagroup module.
Some variables are only supported on newer versions of FreeIPA. Check `Variables` section for details.
Requirements
------------
**Controller**
* Ansible version: 2.8+
**Node**
* Supported FreeIPA version (see above)
Usage
=====
Example inventory file
```ini
[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local
```
Example playbook to add groups:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to handle groups
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Create group ops with gid 1234
- ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: ops
gidnumber: 1234
# Create group sysops
- ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: sysops
user:
- pinky
# Create group appops
- ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: appops
```
Example playbook to add users to a group:
```yaml
---
- name: Playbook to handle groups
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Add user member brain to group sysops
- ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: sysops
action: member
user:
- brain
```
`action` controls if a the group or member will be handled. To add or remove members, set `action` to `member`.
Example playbook to add group members to a group:
```yaml

hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
# Add group members sysops and appops to group sysops
- ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: ops
group:
- sysops
- appops
```
Example playbook to add members from a trusted realm to an external group:
```yaml
--
- name: Playbook to handle groups.
hosts: ipaserver
became: true
- name: Create an external group and add members from a trust to it.
ipagroup:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
name: extgroup
external: yes
externalmember:
- WINIPA\\Web Users
- WINIPA\\Developers
```
