+*******************
+
+**Manage user accounts on VyOS devices using REST API**

+Version added: 1.0.0

+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+- Manages local user accounts on VyOS devices via the REST API.
+- Uses REST API (``connection=httpapi``) instead of CLI.
+- Passwords are write-only. Once set, they cannot be read back in plaintext.
+- Use ``update_password=on_create`` to avoid resetting passwords on every run.

+Notes
+-----
+
+.. note::
+ - Requires ``ansible_connection=httpapi`` with the VyOS httpapi plugin.
+ - ``ansible_network_os`` must be set to ``vyos.rest.vyos``.
+ - The ``vyos`` user cannot be deleted as it is required for API access.
+ - Passwords are hashed immediately by VyOS and cannot be read back.
+
+
