# ManageIQ Ansible Modules

## ManageIQ Ansible Modules

There are several ManageIQ-related modules and roles that can be used with Ansible 2.4 that is supplied with CloudForms 4.6.

### Ansible 2.4 Compatible Modules

The following modules are supplied with Ansible 2.4 and later:

#### manageiq\_provider

The [manageiq\_provider](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/manageiq_provider_module.html) module supports adding, updating, and deleting providers in CloudForms/ManageIQ.

#### manageiq\_user

The [manageiq\_user](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/manageiq_user_module.html) module supports adding, updating and deleting users in CloudForms/ManageIQ.

### Ansible 2.4 Compatible Roles

The following Galaxy roles are compatible with Ansible 2.4 and later:

#### manageiq-vmdb <a href="#manageiq_vmdb" id="manageiq_vmdb"></a>

The [manageiq-vmdb](https://galaxy.ansible.com/syncrou/manageiq-vmdb) role allows for users of CloudForms/ManageIQ to modify and/or change VMDB objects via an Ansible Playbook.
