any idea how I can create a user and then put it into multiple groups with jinja2?

  • name: create user sam
    ansible.builtin.user:
    name: ‘{{ username }}’
    shell: ‘{{ shell }}’
    generate_ssh_key: yes
    create_home: yes
    groups: “‘{{ username }}’,‘{{ groupname }}’”
    append: yes
    ssh_key_file: .ssh/id_rsa
    become: true

where {{ username }} is sam
{{ groupname }} is docker

You can use groups_vars for any group in your inventory

The groups parameter is a simple list of strings. It is clearly documented in the module description.

groups: [ “{{ username }}”, “{{ groupname }}” ]
