+module: bigip_remote_role
+short_description: Manage remote roles on a BIG-IP
+description:
+  - Manages remote roles on a BIG-IP. Remote roles are used in situations where
+    user authentication is handled off-box. Local access control to the BIG-IP
+    is controlled by the defined remote role. Where-as authentication (and by
+    extension, assignment to the role) is handled off-box.
+version_added: 2.7
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the name of the remote role.
+    required: True
+  line_order:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the order of the line in the file C(/config/bigip/auth/remoterole).
+      - The LDAP and Active Directory servers read this file line by line.
+      - The order of the information is important; therefore, F5 recommends that
+        you set the first line at 1000. This allows you, in the future, to insert
+        lines before the first line.
+      - When creating a new remote role, this parameter is required.
+  attribute_string:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the user account attributes saved in the group, in the format
+        C(cn=, ou=, dc=).
+      - When creating a new remote role, this parameter is required.
+  remote_access:
+    description:
+      - Enables or disables remote access for the specified group of remotely
+        authenticated users.
+      - When creating a new remote role, if this parameter is not specified, the default
+        is C(yes).
+    type: bool
+  assigned_role:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the authorization (level of access) for the account.
+      - When creating a new remote role, if this parameter is not provided, the
+        default is C(none).
+      - The C(partition_access) parameter controls which partitions the account can
+        access.
+      - The chosen role may affect the partitions that one is allowed to specify.
+        Specifically, roles such as C(administrator), C(auditor) and C(resource-administrator)
+        required a C(partition_access) of C(all).
+      - A set of pre-existing roles ship with the system. They are C(none), C(guest),
+        C(operator), C(application-editor), C(manager), C(certificate-manager),
+        C(irule-manager), C(user-manager), C(resource-administrator), C(auditor),
+        C(administrator), C(firewall-manager).
+  partition_access:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the accessible partitions for the account.
+      - This parameter supports the reserved names C(all) and C(Common), as well as
+        specific partitions a user may access.
+      - Users who have access to a partition can operate on objects in that partition,
+        as determined by the permissions conferred by the user's C(assigned_role).
+      - When creating a new remote role, if this parameter is not specified, the default
+        is C(all).
+  terminal_access:
+    description:
+      - Specifies terminal-based accessibility for remote accounts not already
+        explicitly assigned a user role.
+      - Common values for this include C(tmsh) and C(none), however custom values
+        may also be specified.
+      - When creating a new remote role, if this parameter is not specified, the default
+        is C(none).
+  state:
+    description:
+      - When C(present), guarantees that the remote role exists.
+      - When C(absent), removes the remote role from the system.
+    default: present
+    choices:
+      - absent
+      - present
