Access rule creation issue using Ansible.

Hi All

I have multiple policy package in my management server.

I am creating a rule using ansible, I want to create a rule in perticular policy package.

But when i am running my playbook, rule is automatic creating in standard policy package.

Even if I use policy installation module, i can install a policy as per my requirement.

"msg": "Unsupported parameters for (cp_mgmt_access_rule) module: policy_package Supported parameters include: action, action_settings, auto_publish_session, comments, content, content_direction, content_negate, custom_fields, destination, destination_negate, details_level, enabled, ignore_errors, ignore_warnings, inline_layer, install_on, layer, name, position, service, service_negate, source, source_negate, state, time, track, user_check, version, vpn, wait_for_task"

Rules cannot exist in a policy package outside of a layer.
If you want a rule in a policy package, it must be added to layer in the policy package.

What you are doing is adding a rule to the layer called Network.
This layer is included in the default Standard policy package.
The layer you are seeing in SmartConsole associated with your policy package might say "Network" but that's not it's name at the API level.
It's most likely "MyPolicyPackage Network" but you'd have to use either the show access-layers API or find the screen in SmartConsole that lists all the layers to confirm the correct name.

A policy package can contain one or more policy layers.
A layer can exist in one or more policy packages.
You must specify the layer you wish for the rule to be added to (by name or uid), not the policy package.
