F5 ansible and tokens

Instead of using local user can we use remote user in f5 ansible modules. Basically use the token feature to login to F5 devices. f5-sdk has that feature. When specified token=yes remote users are granted access to BIG-IP to make Rest calls.

    @DevBabu, you cannot specify a token to login with. You specify a user and password, whether that's a local user, RADIUS, LDAP, etc user, and the Ansible module gets a token on your behalf.
