[FEATURE]: Add support for "run_as_root" for SMB module
While it looks available on the SDK, it seems not possible to create/modify "run_as_root" permissions via Ansible SMB module:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (dellemc.powerscale.smb) module: **run_as_root** Supported parameters include: access_based_enumeration, access_based_enumeration_root_only, access_zone, allow_variable_expansion, api_password, api_user, auto_create_directory, browsable, ca_timeout, ca_write_integrity, change_notify, continuously_available, create_path, description, directory_create_mask, directory_create_mode, file_create_mask, file_create_mode, file_filter_extension, file_filtering_enabled, host_acls, impersonate_guest, impersonate_user, new_share_name, ntfs_acl_support, onefs_host, oplocks, path, permissions, port_no, share_name, smb3_encryption_enabled, state, strict_ca_lockout, verify_ssl"}
I couldn't find any workaround.
Thanks.
@rom357, this should be available with latest release that is coming out in couple of days.
@anupamaloke, Thanks for your feedback. Do you know when this new version will be published?
@rom357 I guess I misspoke. While this feature has been added to the NFS module in v2.2.0 release, it is yet to be implemented for SMB module. This support for SMB module is in our backlog that will be delivered in future release.
I have created code to support this feature and it passes my basic testing (create a share with a "run_as_root" entry, modify it in various ways etc.). I will submit a PR. Currently, it just adds the needed code to plugins/modules/smb.py and doesn't touch any of the version numbers which I presume will need to be bumped. Current branch (I will create a second branch of the first that follows the correct naming convention) is viewable at "run_as_root" branch on my fork of ansible-powerscale. I work in the PowerScale engineering organization at Dell.
