Can be omitted for state=absent required: false default: no default level: description: - The level at which to set the environment variable. - Use 'machine' to set for all users. - Use 'user' to set for the current user that ansible is connected as. - Use 'process' to set for the current process. Probably not that useful. required: true default: no default choices: - machine - process - user author: "Jon Hawkesworth (@jhawkesworth)" notes: - This module does not broadcast change events. This means that the minority of windows applications which can have their environment changed without restarting will not be notified and therefore will need restarting to pick up new environment settings. User level environment variables will require the user to log out and in again before they become available.
