+short_description: Manage the collection of local users on Lenovo CNOS devices
+description:
+  - This module provides declarative management of the local usernames
+    configured on Lenovo CNOS devices.  It allows playbooks to manage
+    either individual usernames or the collection of usernames in the
+    current running config.  It also supports purging usernames from the
+    configuration that are not explicitly defined.
+options:
+  aggregate:
+    description:
+      - The set of username objects to be configured on the remote
+        Lenovo CNOS device.  The list entries can either be the username
+        or a hash of username and properties.  This argument is mutually
+        exclusive with the C(name) argument.
+    aliases: ['users', 'collection']
+  name:
+    description:
+      - The username to be configured on the remote Lenovo CNOS
+        device.  This argument accepts a string value and is mutually
+        exclusive with the C(aggregate) argument.
+  configured_password:
+    description:
+      - The password to be configured on the network device. The
+        password needs to be provided in cleartext and it will be encrypted
+        on the device.
+        Please note that this option is not same as C(provider password).
+  update_password:
+    description:
+      - Since passwords are encrypted in the device running config, this
+        argument will instruct the module when to change the password.  When
+        set to C(always), the password will always be updated in the device
+        and when set to C(on_create) the password will be updated only if
+        the username is created.
+    default: always
+    choices: ['on_create', 'always']
+  role:
+    description:
+      - The C(role) argument configures the role for the username in the
+        device running configuration.  The argument accepts a string value
+        defining the role name.  This argument does not check if the role
+        has been configured on the device.
+    aliases: ['roles']
+  sshkey:
+    description:
+      - The C(sshkey) argument defines the SSH public key to configure
+        for the username.  This argument accepts a valid SSH key value.
+  purge:
+    description:
+      - The C(purge) argument instructs the module to consider the
+        resource definition absolute.  It will remove any previously
+        configured usernames on the device with the exception of the
+        `admin` user which cannot be deleted per cnos constraints.
+    type: bool
+    default: 'no'
+  state:
+    description:
+      - The C(state) argument configures the state of the username definition
+        as it relates to the device operational configuration.  When set
+        to I(present), the username(s) should be configured in the device active
+        configuration and when set to I(absent) the username(s) should not be
+        in the device active configuration
+    default: present
+    choices: ['present', 'absent']
