Notes
-----

.. note::
   - enable is really implemented in the network connection handler and as such can only be used with network connections.
   - This plugin ignores the 'become_exe' and 'become_user' settings as it uses an API and not an executable.

.. hint::
    Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
