Hello guys

I am trying to backup my config on a router  
but I want to use the login details on the router for ansible e.g admin as written below to use to log into the router and not the ansible user on the ansible server  
Please tell me how I can do this .  
when this playbook is run it uses the ansible user to log in

- name: collect default set of facts  
hosts: 10.101.250.41  
tasks:
- name: collect default sets of facts and configuration  
junos\_facts:  
gather\_subset: config  
username: admin  
password: xxxxx

When connecting to network devices you need to use "connection: local" on the play or "delegate\_to: localhost" on the task.
