 # Ansible Collection - slococo.playground
 
-Documentation for the collection.
+## Overview
+
+This Ansible collection contains two roles: `local_accounts` and `ssh_config`. These roles are designed to automate the configuration of local user accounts and SSH daemon settings on target hosts.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Ansible version supporting collections (`ansible-core` > 2.12)
+
+## Role: local_accounts
+
+### Description
+
+This role configures multiple local user accounts on the target host as specified in a list of dictionaries variable.
+
+### Variables
+
+- `local_users`: List of dictionaries defining each local user account with the following fields:
+  - `name`: Username
+  - `shell`: Login shell for the user
+  - `userid`: User ID
+  - `expiry_date`: Expiry date for the account (optional)
+  - `home`: Path for the home directory (optional)
+  - `groups`: List of groups the user belongs to (optional)
+
+### Usage
+
+Include the `local_accounts` role in your playbook and define the `local_users` variable accordingly.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Configure local accounts
+  hosts: target_hosts
+  roles:
+    - role: slococo.playground.local_accounts
+      vars:
+        local_accounts_list:
+          - name: local_adm
+            shell: /bin/bash
+            userid: 38000087
+            expiry_date: null
+            home: /home/local_adm
+            groups: [primary_group]
+          - name: local_log
+            shell: /bin/sh
+            userid: 38000088
+            expiry_date: "2024-12-31"
+            home: /home/local_log
+            groups: [primary_group]
+```
+
+### Additional Functionality
+
+The role also supports configuring passwordless authentication for the local users created.
+
+## Role: ssh_config
+
+### Description
+
+This role ensures the SSH daemon on the target host has specific options configured.
+
+### Variables
+
+No additional variables required.
+
+### Usage
+
+Include the `ssh_config` role in your playbook.
+
+```yaml
+- name: Configure SSH
+  hosts: target_hosts
+  roles:
+    - role: MyAutomationCollection.ssh_config
+```
+
+### SSH Configuration
+
+The role ensures the following SSH options are configured with the specified values:
+- `PasswordAuthentication`: yes
+- `PermitEmptyPasswords`: no
+- `PermitRootLogin`: no
+
+## Bonus Task: Dry-run (Checkmode) Support
+
+Both roles support dry-run (checkmode) and are idempotent.
+
+## Testing
+
+Test the roles on a test host, such as a local VM.
+
+## Uploading to Ansible Galaxy
+
+While not required for this task, the collection is prepared for uploading to Ansible Galaxy or any private Automation Hub.
