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

I'm curious too - I was just starting to try this. The REST API /security/accounts - doesn't show 'usm' as a valid authentication method. The 'na_ontap_snmp' looks possible. Or perhaps try use_rest: never and see if ZAPI works (for now) or /private/cli if you're doing REST calls?

hey @plucky violet - thank you for writing back to me. ZAPI works as is but the problem is ZAPI is going away with new ontap revision I guess.
