PowerScale Ansible Module v1.6 dellemc.powerscale.smb returns ******** for character "a"?

Hello, Looking for help resolving this problem.

I’m trying to gather SMB share details from the shares as suggested in SMB module documentation: ansible-powerscale/Product Guide.md at 1.6.0 · dell/ansible-powerscale (github.com)

This is how I use the module in my code:

name: Get SMB share permissions from the cluster
dellemc.powerscale.smb:
onefs_host: "{ {onefs_host}}"
verify_ssl: "{ {verify_ssl}}"
api_user: "{ {api_user}}"
api_password: "{ {api_password}}"
access_zone: "{ {item.zone}}"
share_name: "{ {item.share}}"
state: present
register: getpermissions_result
with_items: "{ {share_list}}"

The output returned, however, is very unexpected.  It shows status "changed" instead of the expected "ok", and the output also contains some "a" characters replaced with eight asterisk* characters in its place.  Is this a known issue with 1.6.0 PowerScale module?  Any help as to resolve it / troubleshoot it?

Expected behavior example...

ok: [DBISILONSIMULATOR] => (item={'share': 'CreatedFromAnsible', 'zone': 'testzone'}) => { "ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "invocation": { "module_args": { "access_based_enumeration": null, "access_based_enumeration_root_only": null, "access_zone": "testzone", "api_password": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",...... "create_permissions": "default acl",

Unexpected behavior example...

changed: [fbkppexfer] => (item={'share': 'PKITA_24891470_ADT', 'zone': 'PPEXFER-Ring0'}) => { "ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",.... ", "create_permissions": "def********ult ********cl",
