# Ansible The Connectware Ansible collection enables you to fully automate all configuration options available in the Connectware web interface. Instead of performing manual steps in the Admin UI, you can declaratively manage Connectware and its components as code. With this collection, you can: * **Install and manage Connectware**: Ensure that Connectware is present or absent, start, stop, or restart instances, and define installation details such as paths, custom compose files, or environment properties. * **Automate service lifecycle management**: Deploy services from service commissioning files and enable, disable, restart, or remove them. * **Control roles, permissions, and users**: Define roles and permissions directly in your playbooks to manage user access. * **Operate Connectware agents**: Handle agent setup, control their running state, and configure advanced options like agent naming or restart policies. ## Connectware Ansible Collection The official Ansible collection for Connectware is available on [Ansible Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/cybus/connectware/docs/). There you will find documentation, usage examples, and guidance on how to extend the roles to fit your environment. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
