+may require the official [AWX CLI](https://pypi.org/project/awxkit/)
 in the future. The `DOCUMENTATION` for each module will report this.
 
 You can specify authentication by host, username, and password.
 
+These can be specified via (from highest to lowest precedence):
+
+ - direct module parameters
+ - environment variables (most useful when running against localhost)
+ - a config file path specified by the `tower_config_file` parameter
+ - a config file at `~/.tower_cli.cfg`
+ - a config file at `/etc/tower/tower_cli.cfg`

+Config file syntax looks like this:

+```

+host = https://localhost:8043
+verify_ssl = true
+username = foo
+password = bar
