Hello experts,

I'm not able to create an snmp user with authentication method "usm"using ansible module "netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user" as its asking to provide invalid authentication protocol. is there a separate module for snmp user creation with above attributes?

netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user:
state: present
name: <name>
applications: snmp
authentication_methond: usm
role_name: readonly
authentication_protocol: none

In REST API, SNMP is a different endpoint than users (unlike the CLI). https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2885799/html/#/docs/support/support_snmp_users

It looks like SNMPv3 users haven't been implemented yet in the Ansible module.
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/collections/netapp/ontap/na_ontap_snmp_module.html

You can use na_ontap_restit to call the API directly.

You should be able to create SNMPv3 user using na_ontap_user module. I have already implemented it and it works fine.
Sharing the task here-

name: Configure SNMPv3 user
netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user:
vserver: "{{cluster_name}}"
name: "{{user}}"
state: present
role_name: admin
applications: snmp
authentication_method: usm
authentication_protocol: "{{authentication_protocol}}"
authentication_password: "{{authentication_password}}"
privacy_protocol: "{{privacy_protocol}}"
privacy_password: "{{privacy_password}}"
hostname: "{{inventory_hostname}}"
username: "{{username}}"
password: "{{password}}"
https: true
validate_certs: false
when: enable_snmp == true
tags:
- ontap_config_snmpv3_user

Here, authentication method is "usm", and it works well for all authentication protocols, be it none, md5, sha, or sha2-256
