admin_only	Makes the source only accessible to Administrators.
allow_self_service	Allows self-service access to the source.
bypass_proxy	Bypasses the proxy for this source.

certificate_password	Password for the certificate, if needed.
source	The file/folder/url that acts as the source.
user	Username to access the source.
password	Password for the username.
priority	The order of importance for this source compared to others; a lower number is better. Higher numbers are assessed first, then zero-based priorities follow.
state	Options: absent (removes the source), disabled (keeps the source but disables it), present (ensures the source is enabled).
update_password	Options: always (always updates the password), on_create (updates the password only when the source is created).
