module: win_environment
version_added: "2.0"
short_description: Modifies environment variables on windows hosts.
description:
    - Uses .net Environment to set or remove environment variables and can set at User, Machine or Process level.
    - User level environment variables will be set, but not available until the user has logged off and on again.
options:
  state:
    description:
      - present to ensure environment variable is set, or absent to ensure it is removed
    required: false
    default: present
    choices:
      - present
      - absent
  name:
    description:
      - The name of the environment variable
    required: true
    default: no default
  value:
    description:
      - The value to store in the environment variable. 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 is best-suited for setting the entire value of an
     environment variable. For safe element-based management of
     path-like environment vars, use the M(win_path) module.
   - 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.
