Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
ad_user string		Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection		Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
all boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If True, will return all groups in tenant. If False will return no users. It is recommended that you instead identify a subset of groups and use filter.
api_profile string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	Default: "latest"	Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of `latest` is appropriate for public clouds; future values will allow use with Azure Stack.
attribute_name string		The name of an attribute that you want to match to attribute_value. If attribute_name is not a collection type it will return groups where attribute_name is equal to attribute_value. If attribute_name is a collection type it will return groups where attribute_value is in attribute_name.
attribute_value string		The value to match attribute_name to. If attribute_name is not a collection type it will return groups where attribute_name is equal to attribute_value. If attribute_name is a collection type it will groups users where attribute_value is in attribute_name.
auth_source string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	Choices: auto ← cli credential_file env msi	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. Can also be set via the `ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE` environment variable. When set to `auto` (the default) the precedence is module parameters -> `env` -> `credential_file` -> `cli`. When set to `env`, the credentials will be read from the environment variables When set to `credential_file`, it will read the profile from `~/.azure/credentials`. When set to `cli`, the credentials will be sources from the Azure CLI profile. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if more than one is present otherwise the default az cli subscription is used. When set to `msi`, the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. `subscription_id` or the environment variable `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` can be used to identify the subscription ID if the resource is granted access to more than one subscription, otherwise the first subscription is chosen. The `msi` was added in Ansible 2.6.
cert_validation_mode string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	Choices: ignore validate	Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints. By default, all modules will validate the server certificate, but when an HTTPS proxy is in use, or against Azure Stack, it may be necessary to disable this behavior by passing `ignore`. Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CERT_VALIDATION` environment variable.
check_membership string		The object ID of the contact, group, user, or service principal to check for membership against returned groups.
client_id string		Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment string added in 0.0.1 of azure.azcollection	Default: "AzureCloud"	For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, `AzureChinaCloud`, `AzureUSGovernment`), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the `AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT` environment variable.
log_mode string		Parent argument.
log_path string		Parent argument.
object_id string		The object id for the ad group. returns the group which has this object ID.
odata_filter string		returns groups based on the the OData filter passed into this parameter.
password string		Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile string		Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
return_group_members boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Indicate whether the members of a group should be returned with the returned groups.
return_member_groups boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Indicate whether the groups in which a groups is a member should be returned with the returned groups.
return_owners boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Indicate whether the owners of a group should be returned with the returned groups.
secret string		Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
subscription_id string		Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string / required		The tenant ID.

Notes

Note

For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with az login.
Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.
To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
