Hi

Do you mean

- you want to add a user which name is IAM ?
- the user belong to a group ? ( which name is group name )
- with adminisrator privilege, sudo users?

Yes I want to add a user in IAM the user name will be a variable that I’ll pass from my vars file. And I want that user to be added in that group called administrator.
