Your passing in `` as vserver name

#

Hmmm one sec let me double check i think this is a bug

#

I've created DEVOPS-6005 for this issue

@dark compass
set vserver with no value to manage cluster scoped users.

vserver:
vserver: '' still means empty string

- name: Create User in cluster scope in REST. netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user: state: present name: SampleUser applications: ssh,console authentication_method: password set_password: apn1242183u1298u41 lock_user: True role_name: vsadmin vserver: hostname: "{{ netapp_hostname }}" username: "{{ netapp_username }}" password: "{{ netapp_password }}"

sharp jacinth <@1002189625588195338> set vserver with no value to manage cluster scoped user...

I had tried with {{ omit }} but never tried without anything in the variable.

#

vserver is a required field, {{ omit }} actually removes the vserver.

#

sharp jacinth vserver is a required field, {{ omit }} actually removes the vserver.

May I then ask why you didn't make it optional in the first place if it's none anyway?
If the variable is not defined > then cluster svm.
Or is it for technical reasons?
