Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
access_mode string	Choices: disabled local remote	Controls whether the session configuration allows connection from the `local` machine only, both local and `remote`, or none (`disabled`).
alias_definitions dictionary		A dict that defines aliases for each session.
assemblies_to_load list / elements=string		The assemblies that should be loaded into each session.
async_poll integer	Default: 1	Sets a delay in seconds between each check of the asynchronous execution status. Replicates the functionality of the `poll` keyword. Has no effect in check mode.
async_timeout integer	Default: 300	Sets a timeout for how long in seconds to wait for asynchronous module execution and waiting for the connection to recover. Replicates the functionality of the `async` keyword. Has no effect in check mode.
author string		The author of the session configuration. This value is metadata and does not affect the functionality of the session configuration. If not set, a value may be generated automatically. See also lenient_config_fields.
company_name string		The company that authored the session configuration. This value is metadata and does not affect the functionality of the session configuration. If not set, a value may be generated automatically. See also lenient_config_fields.
copyright string		The copyright statement of the session configuration. This value is metadata and does not affect the functionality of the session configuration. If not set, a value may be generated automatically. See also lenient_config_fields.
description string		The description of the session configuration. This value is metadata and does not affect the functionality of the session configuration. See also lenient_config_fields.
environment_variables dictionary		A dict that defines environment variables for each session.
execution_policy string	Choices: default remote_signed restricted undefined unrestricted	The execution policy controlling script execution in the PowerShell session.
formats_to_process list / elements=path		Paths to format definition files to process for each session.
function_definitions dictionary		A dict that defines functions for each session.
group_managed_service_account string		If the session will run as a group managed service account (gMSA) then this is the name. Do not use run_as_credential_username and run_as_credential_password to specify a gMSA.
guid raw		The GUID (UUID) of the session configuration file. This value is metadata, so it only matters if you use it externally. If not set, a value will be generated automatically. Acceptable GUID formats are flexible. Any string of 32 hexadecimal digits will be accepted, with all hyphens `-` and opening/closing `{}` ignored. See also lenient_config_fields.
language_mode string	Choices: no_language restricted_language constrained_language full_language	Determines the language mode of the PowerShell session.
lenient_config_fields list / elements=string	Default: ["guid", "author", "company_name", "copyright", "description"]	Some fields used in the session configuration do not affect its function, and are sometimes auto-generated when not specified. To avoid unnecessarily changing the configuration on each run, the values of these options will only be enforced when they are explicitly specified.
maximum_received_data_size_per_command_mb raw		Sets the maximum received data size per command in MB. Must fit into a double precision floating point value.
maximum_received_object_size_mb raw		Sets the maximum object size in MB. Must fit into a double precision floating point value.
modules_to_import list / elements=raw		A list of modules that should be imported into the session. Any valid PowerShell module spec can be used here, so simple str names or dicts can be used. If a dict is used, no snake_case conversion is done, so the original PowerShell names must be used.
mount_user_drive boolean	Choices: no yes	If `yes` the session creates and mounts a user-specific PSDrive for use with file transfers.
name string / required		The name of the session configuration to manage.
powershell_version raw		The minimum required PowerShell version for this session. Must be a valid .Net System.Version string.
processor_architecure string	Choices: amd64 x86	The processor architecture of the session (32 bit vs. 64 bit).
required_groups dictionary		For JEA sessions, defines conditional access rules about which groups a connecting user must belong to. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/session-configurations#conditional-access-rules.
role_definitions dictionary		A dict defining the roles for JEA sessions. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/session-configurations#role-definitions.
run_as_credential_password string		The password for run_as_credential_username.
run_as_credential_username string		Used to set a RunAs account for the session. All commands executed in the session will be run as this user. To use a gMSA, see group_managed_service_account. To use a virtual account, see run_as_virtual_account and run_as_virtual_account_groups. Status will always be `changed` when a RunAs credential is set because the password cannot be retrieved for comparison.
run_as_virtual_account boolean	Choices: no yes	If `yes` the session runs as a virtual account. Do not use run_as_credential_username and run_as_credential_password to specify a virtual account.
run_as_virtual_account_groups list / elements=string		If run_as_virtual_account=yes this is a list of groups to add the virtual account to.
schema_version raw		The schema version of the session configuration file. If not set, a value will be generated automatically. Must be a valid .Net System.Version string.
scripts_to_process list / elements=string		A list of paths to script files ending in `.ps1` that should be applied to the session.
security_descriptor_sddl string		An SDDL string that controls which users and groups can connect to the session. If role_definitions is specified the security descriptor will be set based on that. If this option is not specified the default security descriptor will be applied.
session_type string	Choices: default empty restricted_remote_server	Controls what type of session this is.
startup_script path		A script that gets run on session startup.
state string	Choices: present ← absent	The desired state of the configuration.
thread_apartment_state string	Choices: mta sta	The apartment state for the PowerShell session.
thread_options string	Choices: default reuse_thread use_current_thread use_new_thread	Sets thread options for the session.
transcript_directory path		Automatic session transcripts will be written to this directory.
types_to_process list / elements=path		Paths to type definition files to process for each session.
use_shared_process boolean	Choices: no yes	If `yes` then the session shares a process for each session.
user_drive_maximum_size raw		The maximum size of the user drive in bytes. Must fit into an Int64.
variable_definitions list / elements=dictionary		A list of dicts where each elements defines a variable for each session.
visible_aliases list / elements=string		The aliases that can be used in the session. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/role-capabilities.
visible_cmdlets list / elements=raw		The cmdlets that can be used in the session. The elements can be simple names or complex command specifications. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/role-capabilities.
visible_external_commands list / elements=string		The external commands and scripts that can be used in the session. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/role-capabilities.
visible_functions list / elements=raw		The functions that can be used in the session. The elements can be simple names or complex command specifications. For more information see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/role-capabilities.

Notes

Note

This module will restart the WinRM service on any change. This will terminate all WinRM connections including those by other Ansible runs.
Internally this module uses async when not in check mode to ensure things goes smoothly when restarting the WinRM service.
The standard async and poll keywords cannot be used; instead use the async_timeout and async_poll options to control asynchronous execution.
Setting async_poll=0 will return a result that can be used with async_status.
Options that don’t list a default value here will use the defaults of New-PSSessionConfigurationFile and Register-PSSessionConfiguration.
If a value can be specified in both a session config file and directly in the session options, this module will prefer the setting be in the config file.
